The great scoring achievement of Antonin Rouzier (25 points) was not enough to prevail over the reigning world champions. On the Polish side the best performance, with 20 points to his name, was displayed by Konarski, who worthily replaced Bartosz Kurek in the line-up. It was Poland's first World League victory over France since July 2007, when Poland triumphed 3-2 in Katowice. Historically France still hold the upper hand against Poland in the World League, having won eight and lost five against them. Before the start of Final Six, Poland were confident about their preparation and they tried to show it from the beginning of their opening match. Coach Stephane Antiga’s players started the game with determination and calmly led 8-6. After the technical time-out France tied at 8, thanks to Earvin Ngapeth’s efforts and an ace from Benjamin Toniutti. Poland built a three-point lead, but France came back in the game and leveled the result at 20-all. Les Bleus put the pressure on the serve and the hosts were helpless – with Michał Kubiak blocked and Nicholas Marechal sending an ace to seal the first set success at 25-21. France led by Rouzier (five points in the 1st set) managed to build a substantial advantage from the early stages of the second set. The 6-2 score for France forced coach Antiga to make substitutions. A short break helped Poland and they reduced the gap to two points at 7-5. The White-Red’s own mistakes and brilliant performance of skipper and setter Benjamin Toniutti resulted in a comfortable 14-8 lead for the guests. Polish defence could not find a solution for Rouzier’s forceful spikes and all their efforts backfired. Without any hesitation France won 25-17, ending the set with massive kill from the middle by Kevin Le Roux. Poland used the 10-minute break between sets well and started confidently with a 7-2 lead into the third. Coach Laurent Tillie tried to stop the Polish momentum by taking a time-out, but his team could not manage to recover. The opposite #DawidKonarski took the responsibility in attack and motivated his teammates to step up their efforts too, so the fans were very pleased with 16-7 score at the second technical time-out. The hosts rised like a phoenix
