Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie won their match 3:1 against SVG Lüneburg and qualified for the Champions League Final Four tournament. The match was played on the Polish team's home court at 'Sosnowiec Arena', where, after the first 3:0 victory in Germany, the hosts needed to win at least two sets to confirm their place in the semifinals.
Warta Zawiercie's strong start was ensured by Karol Butryn, who converted 6 of 9 attacks in the first set, and Bartosz Kwolek, who led the team in subsequent parts with 9 points. Although SVG Lüneburg managed to win the third set, Warta quickly regained control and won the final set to finish 3:1 and advance.
Key players for the Polish team were Kyle Ensing and Bartosz Kwolek, with Miguel Tavares being awarded the MVP title of the match after an impressive performance with 4 aces and 3 attacks.
Warta Zawiercie will play in the semifinal on May 17 in Łódź, facing the winner of the match between Olympiacos Piraeus and JSW Jastrzębski Coal.
With this victory, Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie became the first team to secure its place in the prestigious Final Four tournament, which will take place at 'Atlas Arena' in Łódź from May 16-18.
Today, JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel and Projekt Warszawa will play their postponed return matches to compensate for their losses in the first round. Jastrzębski, who are competing against Olympiacos Piraeus, lost by a tie-break a week ago, so they need a 3:0 or 3:1 victory to advance, and in case of a tie-break victory, a golden set will be played. In a more difficult situation is Projekt Warszawa, who lost 3-1 to Halkbank Ankara, which means the team from the capital needs a 3-0 or 3-1 victory to reach the golden set.
