Centurion Narbonne was forced to exploit the loophole, after a 3-0 defeat in Ankara. On Tuesday night at home, they had to win without conceding more than one set, which they did by only losing the second set.
The Challenge Cup title was then decided by a gold group (the first with 15 points, with a difference of two points), which Guillermo Falasca players started in the best possible way, advancing quickly (5-1). After returning from Ankara, Narboni kept their cool for a final in the apotheosis at the Boiling Arena (3,600 spectators).
They saved the two match points in favor of the Turkish team, with a score of 14-13 and 15-14, before taking control of the group. They finally won their fourth game point. On a counter of Nicholas Zerba, verified by video, Narbonne team won 21 points to 19.
The Tours will play the second leg of the CEV Cup (C2) on Wednesday and will have to achieve the same feat that Narbonne did after their 3-0 defeat at Monza in Italy last week, hoping to lift their third European Cup.
