Serbia - Slovenia (full match)

On Saturday the European bronze medalists of Serbia beat Slovenia in three sets (25:20, 25:19, and 26:24) in their second match at the Cair sports hall in Nis and with this result - combined with Portugal’s straight victory over the F.Y.R. of Macedonia - they cemented their leadership in group J. On Sunday, as they play Portugal they will need to take only one set to book their spot in the Final Round of the 2014 FIVB Volleyball World Championship. The match starring Serbia and Slovenia was attended by more than 5,000 fans and with this home victory Serbia also got their revenge for the defeat they had suffered to Slovenia in the group phase of the 2013 CEV VELUX Volleyball European Championship last September in Herning, Denmark. Dragan Stankovic, captain of Serbia on the press conference said: "We knew what to expect from this match. The stakes were high, and Slovenia had beaten us at the last European Championship. I am glad we found our game, and successfully finished this second match. Tomorrow is the last day. We are playing against Portugal, another team who used to beat us recently, so we have to be very careful".
