ECH 2017 M: Sweet revenge of Serbia at the national stadium in Warsaw!

Poland vs. Serbia

Nikola Grbic’s side didn’t forget about that game that was played at the World Championship opening. That was a stunning performance from Poland, but now, three years later, Serbia took revenge on the World champions at the start of EuroVolley.

Poland have entered the game in a much better way. It lasted until Srecko Lisinac’s turn to serve. He managed to destroy the reception of host team and to make the two-point lead.

In the second set, we saw again good displays from both sides, but Serbia looked like a team that wanted this victory more than the rival. After a great battle in the second set, Serbia came out as the winner again, increasing the lead in sets 2-0!

Serbia have made a huge advantage in the third set 16-11, but Poland made a comeback by creating a 7-2 run. At the result 18:18, the block of Serbia worked perfectly to take a new lead and after the ACE of Lisinac, Grbic;s side came close to the win. 

Ferdinando De Giorgi’s side gave up and Serbia have cruised to the victory 3-0! 

Nikola Grbic has decided to play this match without Aleksandar Atanasijevic and as it turned out, it was a great tactical decision. 

The top scorer of the game was Nemanja Petric with 15 points, while Drazen Luburic added 13 and Uros Kovacevic 12. On the other side, Michal Kubiak finished the game with 1a points.
