Kim Yeon Koung & Fenerbahce In The Finals!

Kim Yeon Koung, Natalia Pereira, Nootsara Tomkom, Eda Erdem and Fenerbahce defeated Tijana Boskovic, Jordan Larson and Eczacıbaşı VitrA Voleybol and booked a spot in the Finals of the Turkish League.

On paper, Eczacıbaşı VitrA Voleybol should have won this match since the team has spent TONS of $$$ to hire some of the world’s best players like 2016 Olympic medalists Tijana Boskovic, Maja Ognjenovic & Jordan Larson BUT the Yellow Angels played with a lot of heart.

The Yellow Angels will play against Galatasaray while Eczacıbaşı will face Vakifbank in the bronze medal match.

Full Match Videos:

Match 1: Eczacıbaşı wins in 3 sets and must defeat Fenerbahce in 3 or 4 sets to qualify for the Final Round.

Match 2: In Set 4, a controversial red card was given to Maja after she scored a point. Did she get it because of her reaction after the play? What happened to a yellow card or a warning?

WHAT A COMEBACK! In the “golden set” at 11-14, Eczacıbaşı choked while Kim Yeon Koung & team scored 5 points in a row to seal the match. Boskovic made 2 hitting errors (12-14 & 13-14), Larson got blocked (14-14) & then Kim scored 2 of the most important points of her career (16-14).

In case you didn’t know, Eczacıbaşı eliminated Fenerbahce last week in the Playoffs of the prestigious CEV Champions League. Eczacıbaşı is in the Final 4 and will play against Vakifbank.
