One week after the home defeat by 3-1 set from Olympiakos in the “eternal” derby, the “greens” presented themselves with many ups and downs in their performance, as a result of which they suffered another painful defeat, this time with 3-2 sets (25-21, 25-20, 28-30, 18-25, 19-17) from the team of the northern suburbs in Zirinio for the 3rd matchday of the Volley League.

The scene was similar in the second set, with the “clover” paying for its many mistakes, with Kifisia even reaching +6, before writing the 2-0 set with 25-20!
In the third set, Panathinaikos significantly improved its performance, mainly in the attacking part. However, he again found himself chasing the score, erasing five match points from the hosts, before finally reducing it to 2-1 set after a great battle (28-30)! This development gave the necessary psychological boost to Dimitris Andreopoulos’ team, which brought the match to a tie, easily winning the fourth set with a score of 25-18.
Despite all this, the two-man Panathinaikos could not complete the turnaround in the tiebreak, ultimately losing to the fighting Kifisia 19-17.
