Historical breakthrough for Bogdanka LUK Lublin, who eliminated ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle with a 3:0 (25:21, 25:21, 26:24) victory and qualified for the semifinals of the strongest Polish league for the first time! 💥
📍 Wilfredo Leon (16 points) was above all with powerful serves and blocks, and even the return of Bartosz Kurek did not stop the hosts' momentum.
‼️Alex Grozdanov missed the match due to an ankle injury, but his team continues the fight for medals, and he hopes to return to play in time for the final matches. 💪The national team captain was in the squad, but listed as a libero.
