Expressing her views after the match, experienced setter Maja Ognjenovic said, “It was a tough match as we expected, I believe everyone knows that THY is a good team. Maybe in some moments of the match we kind of lost control, we played a game other than talking in the locker room. But I am still happy and proud that we got 3 points in front of our fans.”
Expressing his views after the match, Eczacıbaşı Dynavit head coach Ferhat Akbaş said, “First of all, we believe that we have turned a very important corner. We started the season with two very tough matches in the league, like Fenerbahçe and then Turkish Airlines. By losing only 1 set without losing points, we got a clear score in both matches we played. This will be an important advantage for us. In the upcoming matches, we will try to improve the points that we are not ready for.”
