In the first set, Aris turned the 7-6 into a 10-6 with Tani’s serve and although Olympiakos immediately reduced to 10-9, the Yellow-Blacks escaped again 14-9, without the guests being able to come back and the set at 25 -18 to close.

Aris started better again in the third set and took an 11-8 lead. Olympiacos took the change and went on a 0-8 run (consecutive blocks) with Salas in service to take an 8-16 lead and easily go to 18-25.

The fourth set was much more even as neither team could lead 18-18, which with Tani’s serves and Sala’s poor receptions made it 23-18, sending the match into a tiebreak.

Aris led 3-1 in the fifth and final set, but a 6-1 split gave Olympiacos a +3 (4-7) which they held until 7-10. There, Aris ran his own streak for 11-10, with Olympiakos passing 11-12.
