No.4 Galatasaray shocked top seed VakifBank in Game 1 of playoff semis 25-19, 25-23, 25-22. ‘Vakif’ players were obviously exhausted due to recent CEV Champions match against Swiss Volero Zürich and they missed Serbian Milena Rašić (injured) a lot but it all does not diminish the victory of Galatasaray.
Now, the team coached by Ataman Güneyligil needs one more win to secure surprising qualification to the finals.
Top scorers: Galatasaray – Nadia Centoni (ITA) 15 points, VakifBank – Zhu Ting (CHN) 20 points.
