Afyon Belediyespor Yüntaş Afyonkarahisar, who set off their Efeler Ligi campaign with a loss, redeemed against no one else but the titleholders Halkbank, 3-1 (12-25, 25-22, 25-23, 25-20)! The Moldavian Dmitrii Bahov topped Afyon with 19 points. Ekrem Caner Çiçekoğlu made 6 aces. Interestingly, only 6 players were scorers for Afyon in the match. In Halkbank, the Cuban Fernando Hernández collected 25 points.

Ziraat Bankası Ankara (the Montenegrin Vojin Ćaćić scored 17 pts) noted a straight-set win over newcomers TKD Kuzey Enerji Gümüşhane Torul Gençlik. The Polish superstar Bartosz Kurek was not even in the protocol for the match and Ziraat fans still await for his debut.

Arkas Spor İzmir achieved a confident 3-0 triumph over Maliye Milli Piyango Ankara thanks to 15 points from the Cuban Michael Sánchez Bozhulev.

In a big Istanbul derby, Fenerbahçe easily outplayed Galatasaray 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-23). The Slovenian Alen Šket from the winning side was ruthless to the rivals, scoring 19 points.
