Zaksa Kedzierzyn-Kozle – Sarmayeh Bank Volleyball Club 3:2

For two sets, two-time Asian champions Sarmaye Bank silenced the 2,800-strong sellout partisan crowd at Opole Arena as they led reigning Polish champions ZAKSA Kedzierzyn-Kozle 2-0, before the reigning Polish champions found the way to turn the game around and open their 2017 FIVB Men’s Club World Championship with a thirlling five-set win 3-2 (19-25, 20-25, 25-16, 31-29, 17-15).

It took a nail-biting fourth set as the Iranian side came from behind and the Poles denied them a total of four match points before capitalising on their own fourth set point to force a tie-break.

And again ZAKSA had to cancel two more match points of Sarmaye Bank in the fifth to bring the game home.
