In a thrilling final match, Fenerbahce Opet Istanbul triumphed over Eczacibasi Dynavit Istanbul with a scoreline of 3-1 (25:23, 16:25, 25:17, 25:20).
Stysiak’s Impact and Czyrniańska’s Absence
Stysiak made a brief appearance on the court only in the first set and for a few plays in the second set when Eczacibasi had a comfortable lead. Conversely, Martyna Czyrniańska, dealing with recent health issues, did not enter the game at all for Eczacibasi.
Upcoming Rematch
Both teams are set to face each other again on Thursday, March 28, at 18:00 in a rescheduled match from the 15th round of the Turkish league. While Fenerbahce’s position as the league leader remains secure, Eczacibasi is still vying for the second spot against VakifBank. However, facing Nilufer Belediyesi, Giovanni Guidetti’s team is expected to be the clear favorite.
