Another defeat, after those with Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, which essentially deprive him of his hopes for the championship, recorded the PAOKafter the amazing Phoenix of Syros went to Thessaloniki for the 2nd phase of the Volley League and achieved … a triumph (3-0 sets)!
After this result, the islanders caught the “red and whites” in second place in the ranking (but having more matches) and threw the “black and whites” who fought tonight without the heavy artillery Udris, in fourth place.
As for the first set, the hosts started better and I took the lead with +3 (14-11), which was maintained afterwards, but the “pirates” managed to close the gap (22-22), with the best options to help them for 1-0 (23-25).
Despite the fact that at the beginning of the second set the two teams went hand in hand, the Syrians pressed the accelerator and with their leaders Juric-Frango, they were separated at +4 (13-17). In fact, when Boutos went out, things were simplified and as expected, it came 2-0 (21-25).
Things had the same picture in the third set, with Finikas coming forward (5-8), PAOK reacting temporarily (16-14), but the absence of Udris costing the easy 3-0 sets of guests (22-25).
The variation:
1st set: 8-7, 16-14, 21-18, 23-25
2nd set: 8-7, 13-16, 16-21, 21-25
3rd set: 5-8, 16-14, 19-21, 22-25
The rating:
Panathinaikos: 19 points
Olympiacos: 17 points
Finikas Syros: 17 points
PAOK: 15 points
