What supposed to be two exciting Semifinals series of 2022/23 Plusliga Playoffs, started today.
Looking at the final standings of the competition and the field advantage, today we have two upsets.

No.4 in regular season and Champions League finalists Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle defeated leaders Asseco Resovia Rzeszów after an exciting comeback from 2-0 (25:22, 25:13, 21:25, 16:25, 12:15), with another great performance of Bartosz Bednorz, who ended the game as top
scorer with 24 points to his name including 4 winning blocks, 2 aces and 58% in attack.
Maciej Muzaj scored 20 points on the losing side, who played a great volleyball in first two sets, and then the light went out.

Also second in the final standings Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie suffered a home defeat, and the winners are the other Champions League finalists and No.3 Jastrzębski Węgiel.
The game ended in four sets (13:25, 25:20, 20:25, 19:25), and the hosts paid the heavy absence of Uroš Kovacevic (on the bench) and the performance in blocking of the rivals,who scored as many as 15 points from this element (5 by Tomasz Fornal, and 4 by top scorer Stephen Boyer, who ended the game with 21 points to his name through 52% in attack and he added 4 aces too).
Only Dawid Dulski had a double digit performance putting down 18 points on the losing side, who came into semifinals after an exciting quarterfinal series that has been solved only in Game 5.
