Iran - Poland (Highlights, 1st match)

Iran were again in spectacular form! They defeated world champions in five sets. Poland had defeated Iran 3:1 and 3:2 at home this season, with Bartosz Kurek scoring 30 points for them in the 3:1 victory on June 5. Iran, however, have demonstrated how strong they are at home, defeating World League 2014 champions USA twice last weekend. On the press conference, Poland coach Stephane Antiga said: "I am disappointed especially with the first set. We had the opportunity to win. We made mistakes in our reception and spikes. I got the feeling that this game was in their control. We were playing very good; I think, better than Iran. Then, unfortunately, Iran played much better than us in the fifth set. We didn’t spike well. We were doing a good job serving, but we couldn’t stop their spikes. They spike well and it is logical that they won the set. Anyway. It was a tough game between Poland and Iran. I am sure we will play better on Sunday."
