The volleyball players of Jihostroj fought another battle for the first place, where Karlovy Vary briefly got after Saturday’s win. The Lions also had hopes for the leading position, but the South Bohemians started in Prague and won the first two sets. The third and fourth sets were very even, but Jihostroj was already guarding three points. He returns to the elite place in the table and still has a good match.
The first score did not stay set for long. When Macha served, the guests bounced back to lead 5: 2. They kept it at 10: 7, when Jihostroj added another point. The home coach replaced the recorders and Pliasetskyi got on the desktop. It didn’t help either, Michálek’s next serve also ended with a point in České Budějovice. That’s why Lions Coach reached for time. But nothing fundamental has changed. The score was 9:15 and the home coach asked for a break again. Mach was still served by him and it was already 9:18. Recorder Janouch returned to the lineup, but he didn’t stop the crushing loss of 11:25 either.
In the second set, coach Pomr returned to the opening group of the Lions and tried to involve the heartfelt Todu. The spectators came out, the game was finally played evenly. When Janouch was served, the Lions took the lead at 11:10. An unknown thing for Jihostroj Dvořák’s coaches – he took a break. He helped. At 12:14, the home coach tried a similar boost. Also successful (16:16 – 18:18). Then the guests bounced again for a difference of two points, and there was another time. Jihostroj was still in front, the end was 19:22. At that time, the natives helped the blocs. The score was 21:22, followed by Dvořák’s second break. The lions were eager to block, even leveled. But the South Bohemians pulled out their joker, the smasher Licek delivered the set – 22:25.
The third set started at home by McCarthy – 2: 0. However, Michálek also knows how to service – 2: 2. The lions woke up, handed Smith, and they bounced back to 6: 3 and maintained their lead until 11: 8. That was too much for the guests, Michálek served and Mach took over the network – 11:11. Then it disappeared and the exchanges lengthened. Finally, handsome volleyball was played. At 16:14, the coach of Jihostroj requested time. And the second a moment later – the lion blockers really succeeded in these moments (18:15). Two submissions forced the home bench to take the same step – the Czechs headed for the commercials and De Amo reached an ace (18:17). Even volleyball players from the south of Bohemia are just people, after the mistakes of their smashers, the home team was already leading 21:18. The wings of the lions grew – Mihajlović finished very funny (22:18). A similar view is no longer allowed if you have Nedeljković’s quality blockers in the line-up – 25:20.
The home team started the fourth set in style. McCarthy served, Nedeljkovic blocked – 3: 0. At 5: 1, Jihostroj replaced the recorders. Piskáček was misstated – a technical error. After that, however, he calmed down and during the service of Schouten (he also gave an ace) it was after detection – 7: 7. Coach Pomr did not hesitate and took his time. The bag burst with quality services, the home universal Mihajlović also rejoiced in the ace – 10: 8. The guest Piskáček even reached him with a sail – 11:11. Wondering who else can ace? For example, McCarthy – 13:11. However, the volleyball players of Jihostroj did not want to play a tiebreak in Unyp. First they leveled and after the Sedláček block they took the lead at 18:16. This forced the home coach to rest time. Recorder Janouch found twice a Czech who did not make a mistake – 18:19. Then it was lost until Lick and his aces were served (19:22). Home captain Janouch drew hope – 21:22. But in vain (22:25).
This time, the Czech Olympian Adéla Hanzlíčková announced the MVP of the match according to the SmartVolley application. The blocker of Jihostroj, Oliver Sedláček, became him.
