After a game… advertisement, despite an hour delay in its launch, the Mars prevailed in its top derby Panathinaikos with 3-2 sets at the tie break and maintained alone, first and undefeated in the Women’s Volleyleague!
The “greens” suffered their first defeat in the championship, in their first really difficult game this year…
Panathinaikos easily took the first set, having from the beginning a steady lead (3-6, 5-9, 7-13 and 16-20), with Hadava finishing it with a nice effort (18-25).
From there on, a derby followed, with the hosts having Swan on a very good day and arriving despite Stepanenko’s equally good performance in winning the set, 25-22, with a block by Tsobanidou.
In the third set, Aris made a huge upset or, if you prefer the “clover”… committed suicide as he led 1-5 and 8-11, to be followed by the… counterattack of his opponent who reached 18-18. Panathinaikos took the lead again and reached 20-24 to lose with an impressive 6-0 run!
Tsobanidou’s injury partially overshadowed the fourth set, in which the team of Apostolos Oikonomou maintained a more stable performance, with the result that it finally came to 19-25 and 2-2 in the sets.
To go to the psychedelic process of the tie break, where Panathinaikos again showed suicidal tendencies, as although it was back in the score with 11-8 it turned it into 11-12.
However, the players of Giannis Tsairelis had not said their last word and, with two consecutive attacks of Evans, an “ace” of Gaitanidou and a block of Koutsiouki gave the big victory to Aris with 15-12.
The sets: 18-25, 25-22, 26-24, 19-25, 15-12.
