Godzhov broke Suwalki 3-0 – strong Asparuhov, but the hosts without an answer in key moments

Suwalki had no answers against visiting Godzov and lost 0:3 (21:25, 23:25, 22:25). The hosts were close to their opponent at the end of each set, but never managed to make the crucial run that would keep them truly in the match. Each time they got within 1-2 points, the team lost concentration, and the more skilled Godzov team punished their hesitation and rightfully secured a clean victory.

Only Filippipiak and Asparuh Asparuhov maintained a stable level for Suwalki, but this was not enough to turn the tide. Filippipiak finished with 20 points, and Asparuhov added 12, finishing with a +3 efficiency rating, 2 aces, 1 block, 53% positive reception, and 45% attack success rate.

For the winners, the MVP was Mathis Enno, son of coach Hubert Enno. Enno Jr. played a strong match and finished with 18 points, +15 efficiency, 2 aces, 1 block, and an impressive 68% attack success rate, being a key factor in the visitors' control in crucial moments.

The differences in the individual sets were not large (-4, -2, -3 points), which shows that Suwalki was not far off in terms of pure play, but the visitors won all the key rallies. This is precisely the typical sign of a class difference – when the score is tied, the more organized and psychologically stable team closes out the sets without allowing a collapse.

Statistic Suwalki Godzov
Blocks 7 4
Attack - Success Rate 47% 56%
Attack - Efficiency 34% 41%
Aces 6 5
Points from opponent errors 15 24


Although Suwalki had an advantage in blocks (7:4) and a minimal advantage in serving (6:5 aces), this did not translate into a real foundation for a comeback. The decisive factor was the difference in attack – the visitors were more productive (56% versus 47%) and more efficient (41% versus 34%), which guaranteed them stability in important rallies. Additionally, Godzov won many points from the hosts' errors (24 points), which clearly shows better control and a lower percentage of hesitation in key moments.
Thus, the visitors, who are lower in the standings than the hosts, snatched valuable three points, which distance them from the dangerous relegation zone, as they are in 12th position. Suwalki are 10th.
