As expected, PlusLiga volleyball fans will witness an exciting fight for the bronze medal. Asseco Resovia Rzeszów, having lost at home, on Saturday made up for losses in the competition with Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie. In the fight for the podium at the end of the season and a ticket to the Champions League, there is a 1-1 draw.
Asseco Resovia Rzeszów went into the away match with Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie heavily weakened. The team did not have enough health problems with the owner Klemen Chebul and striker Maciej Muzaj. Despite this, the PlusLiga main stage winners were able to hold their own against their rivals.
Crazy start of the bronze match in Zawiercie
After losing in a mid-week tie-break at home, the Rzeszow volleyball players wanted to equalize the competition, which in the medal game goes up to three wins. In addition to the league podium itself, it is worth noting that there is a struggle for a place in the next season of the Champions League.
However, the residents of Rzeszow started with … 0:6 losing, in an environment with Miguel Tavares on the pitch. Mauricio Borges was quickly removed from the field to replace the injured Cebul.
However, it was a good bad start for the team from Zawiercie.
Jakub Buki, hero of Asseco Resovia Rzeszów
Not for the first time, it turned out that in Plus League, in addition to the stars, there are also volleyball players who can be in the so-called second row, but they can perform well when the team needs it.
Jakub Buki is such an example. By attacking Asseco Resovia in the absence of the aforementioned Muzaj, he was able to take on the burden of scoring for the guests. Bucky finished the match with 15 points. Tori Defalco scored eight (23) more, but in his case, one would expect him to take on the burden of playing. Bucky was named the game’s MVP.
What will we remember about the hosts? Uros Kovacevic should be given credit for scoring 19 points in favor of the losers. It seems, however, that, having made as many as 36 own mistakes in a four-set match, it is difficult to think about victory. Moreover, the opponents made 22 such mistakes.
The third game of the bronze medal match will take place on Tuesday, May 9th. Competitions again move to Rzeszow.
