Poland: Cuprum down leaders Resovia! 3 points for Stal Nysa
2 min read
What a huge upset in Round 19 of the 2022/23 PlusLiga!
13th-placed Cuprum Lubin end 7-game winning streak of current leaders Asseco Resovia Rzeszówc and they managed to beat them after more than two years!
Now, such a result (2-3, partially 17:25, 25:12, 25:23, 30:32 and 9:15) is an even bigger feat given that Resovia lead the competition and will remain to the top despite losing today.
Ukrainian Illia Kovalev was the greatest protagonist for winners, scoring 18 points, while German Florian Krage was huge in the blocking, recording seven of the team’s 15 stuffs (tied in that segment with Resovia).
American Torey DeFalco top-scored for Resovia with 15 points, while Slovenian Jan Kozamernik set up 6 blocks.
In the previous game of the day, PSG Stal Nysa needed four sets to down Cerrad Enea Czarni Radom 3-1 (29:27, 21:25, 25:20, 25:20) at home. Wassim Ben Tara, absolute top scorer, was named MVP of the match with 25 points, 4 blocks, 2 aces and 51% in attack.
