Vakifbank
In a duel of the two Turkish giants in the first match of the Final Four in Treviso, Italy, VakıfBank swept Eczacıbaşı VitrA İstanbul after making rarely seen comeback in the second set.
After they easily took first set 25-20, ‘Vakif’ were 10 points down (14-4) in the second set as Eczacıbaşı opened this part of the game by 7-0 and increased the lead afterwards. Amazingly, Giovanni Guidetti’s side made a turnaround, 26-24!
On the wings of this stunt, VakıfBank prevailed in the third set as well as Zhu Ting finished off Eczacıbaşı by scoring two points in a row at 23-22 and securing her team a spot in the final.
Chinese receiver Zhu Ting had a perfect display, collecting 24 points. U.S. middle blocker Rachael Adams was the only double-digit player in Eczacıbaşı with 10 points.
