Pubblicato da Playr
Turin, Italy, September 27, 2018 - All Serbia needed was one set against Poland to advance to Saturday's semifinals of the 2018 FIVB Men's World Championship. And they blew one set point in the first and two in the second, as defending champions Poland swept the Balkan side 3-0 (28-26, 28-26, 25-22) in a dramatic and intense game at the Pala Alpitour here.
Regardless, Serbia are still through to the semifinals on the basis of points collected today.
The Balkan side join USA and Brazil who had earlier in the day qualified from the other 3rd Round pool, after the North Americans shut out Russia.
The last remaining ticket to the semifinals will be decided on Friday, when Italy host Poland at 21:15 local time (19:15 GMT).
But the hosts can only qualify if they beat Poland in straight sets and concede 60 points or less.
