Galatasaray swept powerhouse Halkbank on the road by a 3-0 (25-22, 25-23, 25-23) to make it 2 out of 2 in the 2019/20 AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi regular season. At the same time, by losing to the Istanbul team, the nine-time champions Halkbank made a very slow start of the season (0-2). Estonian opposite hitter Oliver Venno led Galatasaray with 15 points today. Metin Toy scored 17 for the losing side.
The Dutchman Wouter ter Maat made one more huge display for Fenerbahçe HDI Sigorta. He improved his output from an opening-round by 4 points and poured in 30 in the 3-1 (25-9, 25-17, 21-25, 25-18) win of his team against hosts Tokat Belediye Plevne. The 28-year-old opposite hitter had an impressive attack success rate of 71% (25/35). With this success, Fenerbahçe joined the six-team group of the invincibles.
Surprisingly, Spor Toto is one of those six teams with a perfect record. A team that performed under the name Maliye Piyango prior to this season, defeated İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi Spor Kulübü in straight sets thanks to Ugandan opposite hitter Daudi Okello who scored 14 points.
