With a twist and 3-1 set the Men’s National Volleyball team defeated the North Macedonia and had an ideal premiere in the sixth qualifying group of EuroVolley.
The “blue and white” lost the first set 25-15, but the entry of Chandrinos and Andreopoulos in the second set changed the image of the match and brought victory.
Mouchlias also stood out in the match, who scored 24 points, with 4 blocks and an ace.
It is worth noting that the atmosphere was not particularly friendly, since there were loud boos during the National Anthem’s playing in “Jane Sandanski”
