Turkey: Fenerbahçe in crisis, second defeat in row! Win for Ziraat, Cizre, Solhan and Spor Toto

Other 4 matches of 2021/22 AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi Round 7 were played on Sunday.
In big match of the day, Ziraat Bankkart defeated Fenerbahçe HDI Sgorta to record their sixth consecutive success.
Easier than anyone expected, the team from Ankara was better than Fenerbahçe in the replay of last season’s playoff final: 3-0 (25:20, 25:23, 25:17).
Fenerbahçe are definitely in crisis as this is their second defeat in a row in the competition.
Without any history the differce between two opposites: Dutchman Wouter Ter Maat continued to provide great games for Ziraat, as this time he scored 18 points, 63% in attack and 68% efficiency, 3 blocks and 3 aces – only 7 points with 28% in attack, -11% efficiency, 0 blocks and two aces for Toy.
Also Bulgarian Martin Atanasov, who had an attack of 71% (12/17), contributed with this victory.

To the bottom remain Altekma that, without brazilian opposite Luan Weber (well replaced by Amir Khani) surrendered 1-3 at home against Cizre (without starting opposite Coskun).

With 30 points (76% attack, 25/33, two errors, blocked three times) on his account, Bulgarian Branimir Grozdanov led Bingöl Solhan Spor to their first victory of this season. They were better than Avşar Maden Suyu Afyon Bld. Yüntaş in four sets. Burak Hazırol had a reception of 72% (25 digs, 48% perfect) for the winners.

As prediction, close the picture Spor Toto’s home victory over Tokat (25:18, 25:23, 25:19).
