Mursa-Osijek will face Hungary’s MAV Elore-Foxconn in the MEVZA League final after both sides delivered strong performances in the semi-finals in Osijek.
The Croatian champions booked their spot with a 3–1 victory over rivals HAOK Mladost Zagreb (25:20, 25:23, 22:25, 25:18), marking their first win against Mladost this season. Backed by a motivated home crowd, Mursa controlled most of the match with sharp serving and solid teamwork.
Although Mladost fought back in the third set, led by Chandrinos, who finished as the match’s top scorer with 25 points, Mursa responded confidently in the fourth to seal the win.
Leo Andrić (24 points) and Aleksandr Buzdugan (22) led the scoring for Mursa, while the team also dominated at the net with a 16–6 blocking advantage.
In the other semi-final, MAV Elore-Foxconn cruised past Austria’s Zadruga AICH/DOB in straight sets (25:17, 25:12, 25:20), despite the Austrians entering the tournament as top seeds.
Interestingly, the final will feature the third and fourth seeds, both of whom had identical records in the league stage.
Mursa and Elore have already met once this season, with the Croatian side winning a five-set thriller in Zagreb.
