PAOK – Olympiacos 3-2: In the final Dikefalos after a crazy match

The second semi-final of the cup was also scored in five sets. PAOK beat Olympiacos 3-2 in a game with many scoring variations to face Finikas Syros ONEX in Friday’s final.

Both teams had their good and dead points in the game, which was reflected in the variation in sets.

The game: PAOK was the one who went into the match stronger. Kalmazidis’ players pressed from serve, were more efficient in attack and managed to build a five-point lead.

Olympiakos failed to establish their claim at any point in the first set, PAOK maintained that lead through to the final, equaling their win 25-19.

The start of the second set was inversely proportional to the first, Olympiakos leading the Red-Whites to +7 (1-8) with Tepan doing a great job from serve.

PAOK responded and reduced to two 9-11s, but again the Reds and Whites got away with 6 (11-17). The biceps players tried again to close the gap, but Peric finished the set 25-22 for a 1-1.

Change the image again in the third sentence. PAOK were again the ones to take the reins of the set from the start as Olympiakos made their claim in the final.

Tepan served with a score of 20-16 and helped Olympiakos reduce the point by showing renewed interest in the set. In the final, however, PAOK was the one celebrating, winning it 25-22.

The fourth set had a lot in common with the second. Olympiacos managed to evade goal early with his services, only this time PAOK failed to react and the Red-Whites won the set 25-17 and sent the match into a tiebreak.

There, however, the Thessalonians escaped with a block at 3-1 and with an ace from Barnes they made it 7-3 to widen the difference even further (10-5) without the Red-Whites being able to finish with Barnes passing .
