The Schwerin volleyball players missed the surprise in the Champions League group game at Eczacibasi Istanbul. The Mecklenburg women kept up well with the undefeated co-favorites on Tuesday, but ultimately lost 0:3 (17:25, 23:25, 18:25).
After the third defeat in the fourth game, the SSC has to worry about reaching the quarter-finals and is only in third place in Group B. In the Champions League, the winners of the five groups of four reach the quarter-finals directly, the runners-up and the best third team compete against the other participants in play-offs.
Schwerin had already lost the first leg against the top Turkish club 3-0, but at least stood up to the favorites in their own hall for two sets. Despite the Bundesliga club’s 3-1 start in the first set, the second leg quickly took the expected course. The hosts dominated the action and clearly won the first round.
18:16 lead in the second set
Head coach Felix Koslowski’s team quickly fell behind in the second half, but gained an 18:16 lead after a 7-0 run. In the final phase, however, Istanbul acted more effectively again and prevented the guests from winning the set.
The third sentence brought the decision. Schwerin got off to a better start again, but it wasn’t enough to achieve more. Istanbul finally pulled ahead to 20:15 and couldn’t let their lead be taken away.
