Unbelievable match in Busto Arsizio! Estonia were two sets ahead of Serbia and just a step away from the biggest success in their history. But, Serbia made an epic comeback…

If you remember the last World League, this Serbian crew got a catchy nickname – The Tiebreakers – because they played three five-setters in a row at the Final Six and reached the big finals. This time, they once again managed to get out of a very difficult situation and to take the game with Estonia into the tie-break.

In the decisive set, Serbia escaped to 11:9, but Estonia answered back immediately and tied the score to 11:11. Still, boys led by Nikola Grbić continued to push forward, they had the lead at 12:11, 13:12… And then a simple mistake decided the winner. Estianian crew made a bad reception, their setter tried to reach the ball, but his hand was too much over the net – 14:12.

Nikola Kovačević made a service mistake for 14:13, but Aleksandar Atanasijević brought a win to Serbia. His strong spike bounced off the block and the ball landed out of bounds – 15:13, 3-2!

Serbia has therefore scheduled a big clash against France in the quarterfinals of EuroVolley. It will be a replay of the World League finals and t true volleyball classic.
