For the first time in this season in Champions League, Vakifbank looked vunerable, looked like they can be beaten. RC Cannes played with more than 100% and they came just a step away from winning the whole thing. Three times Cannes had the opportunity to extend their lead to two points in golden set, but every time Vakif’s defence came out on top. Weather that was Brakočević blocking or just whole team digging like crazy, it was beautiful to watch. Big congratulations to Vakifbank, but also big props to RC Cannes, for making this giant effort versus a heavy favourites.
RC Cannes – Vakifbank 3-1 (19-25, 25-17, 25-22, 25-22) Golden set 12-15, first match 1-3
Top scorers: Centoni 25, Yaneva 15 – Brakočević 23, Furst 12
