In the decisive moment, however, the players around italian expert Giampaolo Medei were better, more efficient from the service line, and led by experience of Stephen Boyer,
top scorer among the winners with 15 points through 68% in attack and 2 aces, and Karol Klos, who added 11 through 83% in attack, 3 winning blocks and 3 aces.
For Aluron, who played an impressive game in serving, scoring as many as 14 aces, Karol Butryn’s 20 points weren’t enough (65% in attack and 7 aces).
Also Germany’s SVG Luneburg had their problems to repeat the straight sets win of first leg against Greece’s AONS Milon Nea Smyrni, by winning only at tie break after a 2-1 deficit in set, 2-3 (20:25, 25:23, 25:19, 19:25, 8:15), led by Canadian Xander Ketrzynski, top scorer with 23 points.
