Turkey: Efelerligi is back! Leaders Halkbank destroy last-placed Tokat in advance of Round 19

After a stop lasted a month (Round 18 has been played between February 3 and 5, and today was actually scheduled to be played Round 22) due the terrible earthquake that stroke the country, 2022/23 AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi Metin Görgün Sezonu continued today with first game valid for Round 19.
Prediction respected in today’s duel between current leaders Halkbank and last-placed Tokat BLD Plevne. The game ended in straight sets (25:16, 25:17, 25:17) and now the winners are at +7 to runner-up Ziraat, who will face on Monday Arkas (No.3).
Thomas Jaeschke top-scored Halkbank today with 10 points, while Berkay Yavuz had a good performance against his former team and ended the games as top scorer with 14 points in Tokat’s jersey.
Due to the catastrophic earthquake, Halkbank appeared at the match oppening with a “Get well soon, my Turkey” banner, and a minute of silence was also observed before the start of the match to pay tribute to all those who lost their lives in the disaster.
