Jan KrolOur whole team played very well today. Even before leaving Lisbon we had said we would win 3-0 in Warsaw. We were really angry at ourselves. Today we made that happen and we still have a chance to get to the quarterfinals. We now have to win against Tours VB and then surprise everyone in Perugia.

Match Report
Verva WARSZAWA Orlen Paliwa v Benfica LISBOA
Article
VERVA Warszawa ORLEN Paliwa got a revenge for the lost game in Lisbon in front of 1987 fans who attended the game in hall COS Torwar.
The key to success for the hosts was the great play by Antoine Brizard, who was chosen the MVP. VERVA Warszawa ORLEN Paliwa’s setter perfectly managed his team's game and put to his name additionally 7 points. Both Jan Król and Piotr Nowakowski also performed very well each of them scoring 12 points for their team.
The hosts started better in the first set, and emerging victorious from it, made it difficult for the Portuguese team in the second one (21-13), as they were struggling to find their game. Until the end of the match, the players around head coach Marcel Matz couldn’t find their rhythm and lost 0-3.

Ivo CasasWe are going back to Portugal empty-handed, unfortunately. We did our best, but Warsaw were much better today. The Warsaw players defended our attacks and used their counterattacks. Congratulations and good luck in the upcoming matches.
