In the decisive game of this season, Panathinaikos played against Tenerife without his three foreigners and specifically without Cross, Grothes and Stapanenko, but looked the Spaniards in the eye, won two sets and, despite the 2-3 defeat, can still hope for a place in the semifinals if they win in Spain.

After the defeat on Thursday (January 27) in Maroussi, the Greens only want one win in the repeat, which takes place on February 2nd. In case of a 3-0 or 3-1 win, it qualifies directly for the semi-finals, while in case of a tie win, 3-2 sets, all counts in the golden set.

Panathinaikos played with passion despite his absence and those who played did their best. He was even able to get the win because although he lost the first set relatively easily, he won the second just as easily while capturing the third set in a strong duel between the two teams to make it 2. 1 .

The guests, on the other hand, got the next two sets and finally the victory with 3:2 and have a slight lead in the qualification.
