AO MIlon proved once again that they are no easy opponent for Olympiacos, securing a stunning 3-0 victory (25-20, 25-18, 25-21) in the Greek Volley League playoff semifinals. With Japanese setter Ryu Yamamoto leading the charge as MVP and Tymofii Poluian putting up 20 points, Milon evened the series at 1-1, making it clear that this battle for the finals is far from over.
Olympiacos, still feeling the effects of their intense European showdown against Jastrzębski, struggled to find their rhythm. Despite an early lead in the first set, they couldn’t keep up with Milonas’ energy and precision.
With the semifinals decided by a best-of-five format, the road to the finals remains wide open. Meanwhile, PAOK and Panathinaikos face off on Sunday in their own semifinal matchup, with Panathinaikos leading 1-0.
Yamamoto’s outstanding performance earned him the MVP award.
