The Germans had a slight early lead; then the world champs stepped in front. Thole and Wickler kept the fire burning, but were only able to catch up occasionally without regaining control through the ends of the sets. At first match point, Stoyanovskiy delivered the winner in an extraordinary manner. In an attempt to block, he practically set the ball for himself and then hammered it into the opponents\u2019 side to celebrate with a 2-0 (21-16, 21-19) victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough match. We know this team really well. We always play hard with them, because they are really strong. We\u2019ve already played them five times and it was in the final stages of tournaments. We know how to play them and how they play against us,\u201d Stoyanovskiy told Volleyball World. \u201cWe are just very happy that we won. For sure, we are improving from game to game. We did not give away a set. And that already is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-64307\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/minqydosdygaghaesomb-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ahmed and Cherif celebrate victory<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nicolai and Lupo could not hold on to the three-point lead they opened early into their match with Cherif and Ahmed.
