Without raising the stakes and with Stern as the first goalscorer, Hidalgo, Olympiacos defeated Aristotelis in a 3-0 set at the Kalyvia Gymnasium.

Calmly maintaining their unbeaten streak, the Reds and Whites now remain at the top of the Volley League standings with 11 points in 4 games while anticipating possible losses to the other teams in the category.

Aristotelis competed without Kostas Proussalis, who has a problem with his lower back while competing for another match with two foreigners. The Skydra team struggled until the 10th point of each set, but from then on Olympiacos showed their superiority and completeness as a team.

At the beginning the match was inconclusive, Aristotelis led 9-8. Linardos’ serve and 3-0 run gave Olympiakos an 11-9 lead, followed by Stern’s serve and Hidalgo’s attacks for 14-10. The +4 lasted until 17-13. It was the moment when Rojas lost serve (18-13) and Travisa opened a 4-0 run to 21-13 with his serve. The set ended with two points from Payenk for 25-18.

In the second set Aristotelis stayed close until 5:5, but with two aces from Linardos and a mistake from Sarikeisoglou it was 8:5. Olympiacos maintained a comfortable 3-5 point lead to finish the set 25-19 with Hidalgo.

Same picture in the 3rd movement where Aristotle fought to 8-8. Dalakouras’ attack and Rojas’ error gave Olympiakos a 10-8 lead. Aristotelis took a 16-15 lead in his best moment of the game with Rojas’ ace, but Olympiacos responded with a 4-0 run thanks to Dalakouras’ star and escaped 19-16. The match ended with Rojas’ error to 25-20 and the set 3-0.
