The French opened the game in a great way, as they made two aces in the first three points. However, the Azerbaijanis didn’t want to give up easily and managed to catch the connection behind the moody rival - 8:10. A series of 5:0 for 15: 8 followed, with which France secured a calm finish of the set.
