Second Round of Playoff for 5th Place has been played today.
To start the day is a clear straight sets victory of Sète who, in front of their home fans, literally destroy Paris (25:20, 25:18, 25:18) in just over an hour, with 19 points by top scorer Kyle Russell (52% in attack, 1 block and 3 aces), and libero Hugo Fouillade named MVP of the match.
Straight sets win also for Poitiers against a today bad Saint Nazaire (25:15, 25:20, 25:22), with 13 points by Gabriel Candido (73% in attack, 1 ace and 1 block) and 11 by MVP Youssef Awad (11 points, 67% in attack and 1 block), in a match that the hosts control from start to finish with the only exception of third set, in which Saint Nazaire had two points lead.
Clos the picture Montpellier who won in four sets on the field of Narbonne (23:25, 22:25, 25:23, 24:26) who, with this result, slip to the bottom of the standings with only 2 points in two games played so far. The hosts, however, played again without almost all starting six, with Danilo Gelinski, Luca Vettori (on the scoresheet as a libero!!), Willner Rivas, and Nikolay Kolev on the bench from start to finish.
On the winning side, Theo Faure was the most prolific player with 26 points through 69% in attack (with 1 ace and 1 block), while Nicolas Legoff also contributed with 4 winning blocks, and Julien Faganas, MVP of the last game, scored 22 points for Narbonne.
