VfB Friedrichshafen has taken a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three quarterfinal series for the German Volleyball Bundesliga, edging past SWD powervolleys Düren in a five-set marathon (30:32, 25:23, 25:20, 18:25, 15:13).
The match was a rollercoaster of momentum swings, serve errors (26 by Düren, 22 by Friedrichshafen), and dramatic points, ultimately decided by a net error from Düren’s Huetz in the final set.
Standout performances included Michal Superlak’s clutch serves and Ivan Zeljkovic’s timely blocks. “It wasn’t pretty, but it’s the win that counts now,” said Swaczyna. Friedrichshafen can seal their semifinal spot with a win in Düren this Saturday.
