The national team prevailed with 3-0 of Northern Macedonia in its last match in the 2nd group of the Mediterranean Games and solemnly won the first place in the group.
Our representative team on Thursday afternoon (30/6, 18:00 Greek time) will play in the third quarterfinal, where they will unexpectedly face Spain (playing in Greece at 20:00 with Turkey being the favorite).
Marcello Abondanza started today’s match with many changes, as he passed Stranzali as a diagonal having a duo in the reception for the first two sets of Kyparissi, Spanou, while Tsioga took the place of Terzoglou and Kleppou played as a libero.
Essentially the Greek team faced some problems only in the first set where the opponent was ahead until 14-16 to run there a series of 7-0 and reach the final 25-18.
In the next two sets having very good percentages in the attack (we finished the match with 48%) we prevailed very easily with the Italian coach giving participation time to all the athletes.
