Hungary went through with a “thriller” and PAOK took the lead

PAOK advanced to the quarterfinals of the men’s volleyball Challenge Cup. The “two-headed” defeated Elor in Hungary 3-2 sets with a reversal from 1-2 in the first match between them for the “16” of the tournament and in the rematch of Pylaia on the 17th of the month, a victory with any score is needed to get the ” ticket” for the octave.

PAOK managed to survive the “thriller” of the last two sets and reach the upset and the victory, having solemnly lost the third set, but finding the right psychology to react.

PAOK fought without Lobizenko and managed to get a reaction led by Laftov, who gave his best performance in the black and white jersey, finishing the match with 30 points.
