Rabita Baku takes revenge from Fenerbahce

After losing last week in straight sets, the Azerbaijan women`s volleyball club Rabita took tonight immediate revenge from Turkey`s Fenerbahce by scoring a 3:1 win (25-27, 27-25, 25-20, 25-17) in the CEV Champions League.

The home heroines of Rabita started with a great tempo and got a margin of 6 points before their opponents stormed back to claim the opening set after an extremely close final rush (25-27). The second set unfolded like a carbon copy but with a different outcome; this time the guests from Turkey went up in the score but Rabita got back on track also with the help of the local supporters to draw the count (27-25). Head coach Zoran Gajic had opted for some substitutions and this move turned into a good one, with Sanja Starovic and Mary Spicer taking their side by the hand with a classy performance.

The third set also turned into a close affair but the hosts stayed concentrated and eventually took home 3 points by scoring a 3:1 win. Serbian middle blocker Mira Golubovic was named best player of the match as she chiefly contributed to the final result with her blocks and fast play.
