KS Global Pharma Orlicz 1924 Suchedniów Defies the Odds

A.S Pontoise-Cergy TT secured a 3-2 victory over KS Global Pharma Orlicz 1924 Suchedniów at home, but the result was insufficient for the French team to secure a spot in the Champions League Men quarterfinals. In the first leg, the Polish club had recorded a 3-1 victory, giving them the edge on aggregate.

Marcos FREITAS, absent from the French lineup last week, delivered an impressive performance, winning both his matches against Robert FLORAS and Deni KOZUL. Izaac QUEK YONG also claimed a victory over FLORAS. However, it was the nail-biting wins by KOZUL over QUEK YONG and Mateusz ZALEWSKI over Liam PITCHFORD that sealed Suchedniów’s advancement to the round of 8.

“It was a great match. We managed to win two points even without Kazuhiro YOSHIMURA, who led us to victory last time with two wins. We came mentally prepared, knowing everything depended on us. I’m thrilled to have avenged my 2-3 loss last week with a 3-2 win over Izaac QUEK YONG. In the decisive game, I had a 4-0 lead, which gave me the advantage I needed. Robert also played very well against Marcos in the opening match—it was close until the fifth game. But the most important win was Mateusz’s victory over Liam PITCHFORD—Liam was a clear favorite. This is a great Christmas gift. We’ll give our best to continue and aim for the Final 4,” said Deni KOZUL.

Previously, Polish team had to go through the group stage to earn their spot in the competition.
