Champions League: Developres Rzeszów made a sensation! The giant is defeated

The inaugural party was even at the beginning. At 6: 6, the Turkish women scored five points in a row and definitely took the initiative. The locals had big problems in accepting, and even more difficult in the attack, where they finished only 7 out of 36 shares (17% effectiveness against 54% of their rivals). Time and time again the inhabitants of Rzeszów were stuck on a tight block of the team from Istanbul. The Turkish women scored seven points with this element, with only one runner-up in Poland. VakifBank’s advantage grew rapidly. The visitors at the 9:13 state recorded an eight-point series and the emotions were over.

Undaunted by such a turn of events, the players from Rzeszów did not bow their heads and were doing great in the game number two, where the fight flared up and the lead passed from hand to hand. There was no shortage of long exchanges, amazing defenses and spectacular attacks. Developres clearly improved the reception, which also translated into an offensive game. The players from Rzeszów slightly prevailed (18:15, 19:17, 23:21). The Turkish women did not give up after sets of three “points” in the end they had a set ball 24:23.

We recommend: Leaving Russia for Poland will be a huge challenge. “Nobody wants to lean out. Out of fear “

They did not use it like the other two. On the other hand, the players from Rzeszów put a stop on the first opportunity. The Swedish Isabelle Haak, who in the first set only finished one attack out of six (17% effectiveness), was more and more active in the team of guests. The Turkish women at the end of the set jumped back to four points of advantage and did not let themselves be taken away from the win. The team of coach Stephane Antiga did not give up and, inspired by the fans, prevailed from the very beginning of the fourth set (8: 5, 17:13).

The visitors at the finish leveled the losses and even had two match balls (24:23, 25:24) but they did not use them, and the team of coach Stephan Antiga did it after the third setball, leading to a tie-break. Initially, the team from Istanbul predominated in it, but Developres did not give up even for a moment, reducing the losses and leading to an exciting ending in which the key roles were played by Kara Bajema and Anna Stencel. The American host with an effective attack dotted the i with an effective attack.
