While on paper this match seemed quite easy, on the court it was a different story!
The Nice team came out on top over their Mediterranean cousins, but they had to wait until the 5th set to exclaim: we won!
Score progression: 23-25, 25-14, 25-19, 22-25, 15-6.
In short, never judge by appearances… Sรจte put up a tough fight before conceding defeat and still managed to take a point that keeps them close to Nice in the battle for the play-offs.
Nice needed a “top” performance from their scorer Tupchii, who notched up 31 points, well-supported by Kolev (19) and Bartos (13).
