Zenit put their participation in the quarterfinals of the 2020 CEV Champions League in jeopardy by losing their 2nd match in Pool C.
Jastrzębski made an epic comeback in the tie-break of a postponed Round 1 match (due to Zenit’s participation at the 2019 FIVB Club World Championship)! After losing 2-1 in sets, the Polish side managed to tie at 2-2. In the 5th set, they have fallen into the abyss but recovered amazingly. The team coached by Serbian Slobodan Kovač made a 6-0 run at 10-14 and won the encounter against the giants from Russia.
Tomasz Fornal led Jastrzębski with 18 points. Bulgarian Tsvetan Sokolov scored 22 points for Zenit.
