1 min read
After being 2-0 down in the series and having saved 3 decisive balls in Game 3, Arkas Izmir defeated Fenerbahce in straight sets in Game 4 and therefore the title will be awarded in Game 5. Without Glenn Hoag on the bench, disqualified for a red card remedied in game 3, and without the middleblocker Matic (injured in game 3 and out also for game 5), Arkas Izmir dominated, led by an excellent Taht (17 points, 63% in attack, 3 winning-blocks and 2 aces) and Lagumdzija (17 points, 62% in attack, 3 winning-block and 1 ace).
Fenerbahce has combined little from the service line (1 ace and 16 errors against 5 aces and 12 errors), but also with block (4 winning-blocks against 13) and in the second set has failed the opportunity to reopen the game wasting an advantage of 19-22. However, a turn at the service by Taht, a block of Sikar and Lagumdzija, Taht’s direct ace of 23-22 and Lagumdzija’s counterattack closed also the second set. Arkas won without some problems the first and third set.
