Reigning champions in the Champions League Women KTS ENEA SIARKOPOL TARNOBRZEG were in the fast lane tonight. In the opening leg of the semi-final the Polish champions beat LINZ AG Froschberg in straight matches.

Unlike the very close quarterfinal and two legs that ended in five matches and required a gold match the opening leg of the penultimate stage was finished in the express lane.

“The team was fantastic tonight. We were very motivated ” said Elizabeta SAMARA. “Fu Yu performed at the top level tonight. She was superb. Xiao Xin was also at a high level.”

SAMARA was forced to go the full distance. She beat Suthasini SAWETTABUT by the death point.

“In the key moments I was more focused but I have to give credit to SAWETTABUT for a very tough fight.”

The return leg will be played in Poland on Saturday.

In the other semi-final SKST Plus Hodonín will meet ETIVAL ASRTT.
