Detailed statistics – Bulgarians in the Steaua squad

Svetoslav Ivanov

Ivanov played a solid match, especially in attack from zone 4, where he was often sought in key moments. Although his reception percentage was not exceptional, he provided balance in the back court and contributed to Steaua's calmer play after losing the first set.

Krasimir Georgiev

Georgiev was extremely useful in the middle of the net. His reliability in first tempo and good block closing significantly hampered Corona's attack, especially in the third and fourth games, when the hosts finally took control.

Corona Brasov - top scorer

Gonzalez Rodriguez was the main weapon of the visitors and the only one who maintained a consistent scoring rhythm in attack, but without sufficient support from the other attackers, this was not enough for a comeback.
