By beating regular season leaders Halkbank on the road in four sets (14:25, 23:25, 25:22, 16:25), Ziraat Bankkart Ankara took the lead in 2022/23 AXA Sigorta Efeler Ligi Metin Görgün Sezonu Final series and on Friday will have the chance to win again the national title.
Although the opaque performance of Osmany Juantorena (only 5 points today through 25% in attack), the players around head coach Mustafa Kavaz celebrated a clear victory, dominating first and fourth sets, struggling in second and losing the third one 25-22.
To the hosts were not enough the 20 points of Nimir Abdel Aziz and the 19 of a good Thomas Jaeschke, while
the winners could count on an excellent Wouter Ter Maat, top scorer of the match with 21 points (1 ace, 4 winning blocks and 59% in attack), and Martin Atanasov, next season in Russia with the jersey of Lokomotiv Novosibirsk, who also contributed with 18 points (62% and 3 blocks). Decisive are, however, the 14 winning blocks (only 5 for Halkbank).
