Reigning champions of the „Land of the Rising Sun“ gave no chance to the main title contenders besides them, Panasonic Panthers, 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-16). Do you want to guess who highlighted Trefuerza? Of course, it was Croatian opposite hitter Igor Omrčen. He poured 24 points while the Pole Michał Kubiak had 11 on the other side.
