France's Antonin Rouzier spikes as he scores 29 points for his side in their victory over Korea on Wednesday |
Lausanne, Switzerland, June
29, 2011 – Serbia denied Argentina the point they needed to reach the Final
Round of the 2011 FIVB Volleyball World League with victory in front of their
home fans in Novi Sad on Wednesday as France clinched their first home win of
the tournament with a vital win over Korea while defending champions Brazil and
Italy also came out on top in their respective matches on the final week of the
Intercontinental Round.
Argentina needed just two
sets to progress to the next stage but were pinned back by Serbia as the hosts
sealed a thrilling 3-1 (25-18, 23-25, 25-18, 25-22) victory to move within two
points of a place in the next phase of the tournament. Meanwhile France saw off
Korea in four sets (23-25, 27-25, 25-16, 25-15) in Pau, Brazil held off Poland
3-1 (25-23, 18-25, 25-16, 26-24) in Katowice and Italy beat Cuba in straight
sets (25-21, 25-22, 32-30) in Parma.
“This is an important
victory for us,” Serbia captain Bojan Janic said. “I have to thank to our
supporters in Novi Sad. At the important and essential moments we made the
right moves to secure victory tonight and we will see what we will do tomorrow,
since the second victory is more than important.”
Thursday’s matches feature
Bulgaria v Russia, Finland v Portugal, Germany v Japan, Serbia v Argentina and
Poland v Brazil.
