He “walked” in the derby and Olympiacos escaped to the top

Olympiacos established itself at the top of the Men’s Volleyball League. The “red and white” defeated Milos 3-0 in “Melina Merkouri” in the top derby of the fifth game of the championship and escaped +4 from the second-placed Neosmyrniotes, who saw Panathinaikos reduce earlier to -1.

With the leader and MVP of the match Dragan Travica, the “red and whites” scored their fifth victory in as many matches. The match was behind closed doors due to the punishment of Olympiakos, who served the three-match ban from last season.

Andrea Gardini’s team fought with Dalakouras, Papagelopoulos in the basic formation, kept high percentages in reception and blocks and won relatively easily.

The sets: 25-22, 25-18, 25-21

Fluctuation:
