Pazardzhik, Bulgaria, November 19, 2020. Bulgaria’s Hebar PAZARDZHIK did not drop a single set in their two consecutive matches with Erzeni SHIJAKUT of Albania to qualify for the 8th Finals of the CEV Volleyball Cup 2021.
On Tuesday, Hebar stormed to a comprehensive 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-17) victory in their first international match this season. The hosts delivered a truly impressive performance as Bradley Gunter top scored with 17 points, followed by the experienced Todor Aleksiev and Teodor Todorov with 15 and 12, respectively. Even 20 points scored by Asmend Kula could not change the course of the game in favour of Erzeni.
Some 24 hours later, Hebar secured their spot in the next round – a truly historic feat for the Bulgarian team – as they powered to another 3-0 victory (25-11, 25-20, 25-9) in their second match with Erzeni SHIJAKUT, with Bradley Gunter top scoring again with 14 points.
