I would compare this victory to a single game win in the play-off series. Everything is still open. Lube is one of the strongest teams in the world with many amazing champions and top players. So I believe that nothing is settled yet. We still have one important game to play.
Head Coach JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel
Tomasz Fornal"It is enough for us to win two sets in front of our own audience and we will be guaranteed promotion to the semi-finals. There is nothing to get too excited about as we haven't been promoted yet. We have to calmly approach this second game, with a cool head. I hope that Wednesday will be full hall and the fans will carry us to victory and promotion to the next.”
Outside Hitter JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel
Robertlandy Simon"Reversing the result of the first leg is possible and I believe it. Of course it won't be easy, but nothing is simple when you talk about Champions League games. Our opponents are a very strong team, performing great defenses and blocks, but we have to look only to our side of the court, as in my opinion everything will depend on our minds."

Four of these aces were recorded by MVP of the match - Tomasz Fornal, who finished with a total of 21 one points. Jan Hadrava, on the other hand, became top scorer with 23 points. For the guests, Ivan Zaytsev scored 21.
