The hosts took the leadership position since the very beginning of the first set, and gradually built up a comfortable point difference, opening the match 25-15 in their favour. 

As many as 3 kill blocks and 3 aces sealed the deal for Volero in this part, while they performed better on attacking as well. 

The beginning of the second set was more balanced, with the teams playing “a cat-and-mouse” game. Following each other in the score throughout the whole time, both Volero and Developres delivered some high-class Volleyball. The fans attending in La Palestre Le Cannet enjoyed the nail-biting #CLVolleyW action until the very last moment of this set, when the home team showed nerves of steel, taking it at 29-27. In this deciding, from a mental point of view, set, it was the better serving by the French that helped them take control of the game. They finished with five aces in this part, while the Polish stormed on the block (four kill blocks), but this wasn’t enough for the guest team to bring back the intrigue.

The precision to the detail played a pivotal role in the third set, as Volero claimed the victory thanks to two more successful attacks (15 to 13 winning spikes) and scoring one more point on their opponents’ errors.

Anna Kotikova was named MVP of the game, recording as many as 15 points (54% exc. in attack), including one ace. Her teammate, Eva Yaneva was the most successful player on serving, with three aces to her name.

For Developres, Gabriela Orvosova topped the charts with 16 points (40% exc in attack).
