In the first set in the Frankfurt ball sports hall, the guests are quickly and consistently in the lead. In the end Benjamin Patch and Jeffrey Jendryk at 24:23 won two set balls for the Berlin team, which were finally refined by an ace from Ruben Schott. When the score was 22:22, the game was briefly interrupted because ex-Berlin Robin Baghdady had to be treated on the Frankfurt side for a foot injury on the field and was then eliminated.
The BR Volleys are really strong defensive actions for a long time, especially in the block with Jendryk and Nehemiah Mote. However, the guests also benefited from the fact that Frankfurt’s risk-taking game was initially highly error-prone.
But after a seemingly safe 13: 5 lead in the third set, the Berliners became careless. Your opponent equalized at 19:19. Against ever more confused BR Volleys, the Hessen shortened to 1: 2 in sets. The capital club had against the updraft or opponents after major problems to prevent the tiebreak. After a 24:20 intermediate result, Frankfurt had six set balls. For their part, the BR Volleys finally achieved success with their second match ball with strong nerves.
