FRIENDLIES M: Turkey’s unexpected loss

by WoV

After a tight game and win versus Bulgaria yesterday Turkey lost match to Iran in five sets. Even though result is not the most important in friendly preparation matches, Turkey for sure expected to beat Iran at home.

Game was full of turnarounds, Turkey had a slow start and didn’t respond well to Iran’s service and gave up the 0-1 lead quite easily 19-25. Then boys in red stomped Iran in next two sets. Blowing up wholes in defence of the Asians, hosts got the lead 2-1 (25-19, 25-22). But then like something happened to Turkey, they ran out of gas and weren’t looking like themselves. Iran slowly kept their lead and surprisingly easy won the game 2-3 (21-25, 12-25).

This was the last chance for Turkish team to test their level of preparation since they will soon travel to Denmark and Poland to EuroVolley.
