eczacibasi-vs-imoco
The Italian side Imoco Volley Conegliano did something that seemed almost impossible – they overturned 0-3 from the first quarterfinal match against Eczacıbaşı VitrA İstanbul at home and prevailed in the rematch by a 3-1 (25-21, 25-23, 21-25, 25-21) and by a 15-10 in golden set. This was totally against the odds!
It seems that Eczacıbaşı head coach, Brazilian Marco Aurélio Motta, also could not have assumed, even in his wildest dreams, that such a scenario would happen so he left his team’s best scorer in the Champions League Tijana Bošković, out of the starting line-up. The Serbian opposite was sent in already in the first set as Imoco have started to gain more and more confidence, but was again pulled out in the second set. This confidence of Imoco mostly came out of block knowing that Italian titleholders made as much as seven kill blocks in the second set only (18 in total).
American Kimberly Hill poured in 25 points (80% positive reception) for the winning side while Dutch Robin de Kruijf made five kill blocks. Korean Kim Yeon-Koung scored 18 points for Eczacıbaşı, making 79% positive reception.
