Tours VB – Crvena Zvezda
TOURS VB started out strongly going up 4:1 but the hosts fought their way back to draw level at 15. After that, a neck-to-neck race unfolded before TOURS VB got a slim margin contributed by David Konecny and David Smith. After going up 18:15, Konecny scored three aces for the 23:18 and the set was sealed (25-21) by an attack of US American David Smith.
TOURS VB caught a splendid start also in the second set (5:1) while the players mentored by Dusko Nikolic were struggling in reception and attack. Nikolic tried to change the course of the game via some substitutions but the final outcome of this set was never to be questioned.
Set three was not much different with TOURS VB already setting the pace by the first technical time-out and gradually widening the gap (8:6, 11:6) as the guys around head coach Mauricio Paes were playing with great confidence (14:7, 21:14), thereby finishing the match with a clear 3:0 win via the superb performance of David Smith.
