The match

The national coach started the game with Konstantinidou, Anthoulis, Lambrousi, Kalandatze, Strandzali, Nikologianni and Artakianou as sweepers.

In the first set, 4-3 became 7-3 after we lost a double tie-break and Alsmayer spoiled our welcome with her serve, allowing Germany to walk away 10-4, 12-6. The answer came with a serve from Konstantinidou for 12-10, while Ortman stopped the Greek winning streak but injured himself.

But instead of causing an upset in Germany, the home team ran 3-0 (16-11) and this time held the lead to the end. And that’s because Pogani played a terrible defense against Nikologiannis at 20-17, robbing us of an opportunity to reduce the score to two…

The start of the second set (Todai instead of Lambrousi in the original line-up) was a nightmare as we lost 4-0 after consecutive errors, but after Ocal’s time-out there was a reaction (4-3) to equalize at 7 – 7.

However, Germany escaped again (9-7) and a little later it was 11-8 (Anthoulis out) and 15-11 (Block by Strandzalis), with Greece losing three counterattacks by the time the score was 19-15 and eventually managing to move up to 19th place :17 to come to 21-19.

The defense came out but we also lost the counter to reduce it to one point (Block by Strandzalis at 22:19) and we accepted the counter (23:19) to come up with another lost counter (Block by Anthoulis ) to come to 25:21.

The third set was initially perfectly balanced, with the national team eventually taking the lead (7-8 against Anthoulis attack) and going +2 (9-11 with a block by the superb Nikologianni). Although Germany equalized 12:12 (Anthoulis out), we not only didn’t lose, we also got away straight away (13:15 instead of Constantinidou) and in the 15:17 it was 15:18 with a terrible attack from Strantzalis and a block by Anthoulis to make the difference in its maximum value at 16-21 (Anthoulis again). And yet we couldn’t clear the set despite reaching 21:24 as we lost another counterattack there (22:24), didn’t finish our attacks and Germany equalized (24:24) to equalize achieve bo (26-25).

Kalandatze erased it, Anthouli put us back in front but in the next stage we lost again on the break (27-27) with Germany getting the two points they were looking for with Schetzel and winning the game.
