Paykan
They downed big rival Shahrdari Urmia at home court 3-2 (23-25, 22-25, 25-19, 25-18, 15-9) to finish the series 2-1!
It was remake of last year’s playoff finals with the same outcome! Paykan won the final series and won the title last season, but in this season they have done it in the semis!
The third and decisive match between these two sides was full of tension, argue, trash talk… In the first two sets, Urmia were dominating all the time and they got 2-0 lead.
Everyone thought that away team will win the match but Paykan have managed to make huge turnaround and to win the game 3-2!
In the fourth set, a member of Iranian national team Saeid Marouf earned red card after he entered into the opponent’s side to argue with Valerio Vermiglio!
In this part of the match we saw an unusual situation in volleyball. Marouf called Amir Berzeghari to enter the game instead of Hamed Tarverdi but the head coach told Barzeghari that he had to sit on the bench. It is interesting that Berzeghari didn’t want to listen the coach, he said yes to Marouf and entered the court. Substitution was made by the request of the captain Saied Marouf. It was really strange situation.
In the finals, Paykan Tehran will play against Sarmayeh Bank.
