Euphony ASSE LENNIK – Generali UNTERHACHING
Head coach Marko Klok had revolutionized his starting line-up after the departure of opposite Eivo Zuravljov. Slovak Jozef Piovarci had taken this position but Generali started out much focused and determined (8:11) with Belgian-born Matias Raymaekers standing out in offense and blocking. The hosts fought bravely with Piovarci but the first and second sets eventually went to Generali (21-25 and 19-25).
ASSE-LENNIK finally fought back in set 3 where the home heroes stepped up the quality of their play and with Piovarci well supported by Thomas Jarmoc and Dejan Radic, Euphony could call for the fourth set (25-18). However, Generali got back control of the game in set 4 and even though Euphony – helped by the local crowd – was close to stretch the match to the tie-break, the Germans sealed that section at 24-26 to celebrate their third win in the competition.
As for Euphony, the Belgians will complete their European campaign next week by playing Pool leader Lube Banca Marche MACERATA of Italy.
