Greece closer to qualification after win over Romania
After three losses each, Greece and Romania faced each other to get their first win in EuroVolley 2019. And after a very tight match, Greece eventually prevailed in four sets partly thanks to outside-spiker Athanasios Protopsaltis and his 20 points. Romania put up a great fight but could not manage to close out sets 1 and 3, and fell quickly behind in set 4.
Greece took a great edge tonight towards grabbing the fourth qualifying ticket for the knock-out phase. But Portugal, and even Romania, can still steal it. It will all be decided in the next two days with their two remaining matchups with Portugal.
