In an intense first match of the Slovenian playoff final series, Calcit Volley Kamnik edged past Nova KBM Branik with a score of 3-2. The game unfolded in their home court with set scores of 21-25, 25-19, 17-25, 25-12, and 15-5, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series.
The contest between these traditional rivals was a dramatic affair, filled with numerous twists. Although the Maribor team initially led 2-1, suggesting a potential undefeated run in the championship after their recent cup victory, they failed to maintain their momentum. Calcit Volley capitalized on this, overpowering their opponents in the fourth and fifth sets. The next match of the series is scheduled for Saturday in Maribor.
