FULL Volleyball Match | Serbia vs Gemany | Volleyball Nations League 2018

Kraljevo, Serbia, May 26, 2018. Serbia take their first win of the new Volleyball Nations League against a resilient Germany with Drazen Luburic scoring 21 points, excelling in attack from both front and back court. After going a set down, the home side started to fire up the crowd and slowly took control by attacking through all channels to secure a 3-1 win (19-25, 25-21, 25-16, 25-14).

With the teams being 10th (GER) and 11th (SRB) in the world ranking it was always going to be close, but the changes made by both coaches led to a quite unpredictable match. Coming into the game Serbia were on a five-match losing streak at major world level and despite a sluggish start it was evident they were keen to put that behind them. Coming from the bench, captain Marko Ivovic led his side showing composure at key times, but the star man was top scoring Drazen Luburic and all eyes will be on tomorrow to see who starts as Opposite Hitter in their next match.

Uros Kovacevic also excelled throughout with 17 points, but he did get lucky after a comical moment provided him with an ace when one of his serves was going a long way wide but hit a retreating Simon Hirsch who could not get out of the way in time. Another standout player was Srecko Lisinac who produced a couple of stunning middle attacks, often grounding the ball inside the German three meter area.
