The title of favorite in his first semi-final Final 4 of the Women’s Cup was confirmed by AEK, which prevailed 3-0 (23-25, 23-25, 15-25) of Mars in its closed Loutrakiou.
Of course, the trophy winners found it difficult from Thessaloniki. At least in the first two sets, especially the second. There where a great derby took place, with Aris actually leading 22-18. However, the “Union” – with the impetus of its crowd that gave a strong “present” – ran an impressive 6-0 with a great star Lambrini Konstantinidou, who took action on the serve. AEK, therefore, went straight into the third set, where they did not let their foot off the gas.
Now, the “yellow and black” await their opponent in the final on Sunday (10/3, 20:15), where they will face the winner of the derby Olympiacos-Panathinaikos. It is recalled that the two “eternal” are facing each other on Friday afternoon (8/3, 8:00 p.m.).
It should be noted that before the start of the Final 4, a minute’s silence was held in memory of Ruxi Dumitrescu, while the tournament trophy was presented with her jersey by the National Team.
