Chaumont loses in the tie-break in Lüneburg, for its entry into the Champions League

Chaumont may have regrets, after its tie-break defeat in Lüneburg, Germany, this Wednesday (25-17, 25-23, 24-26, 19-25, 13-15). Silvano Prandi's players quickly led in the first, then in the second set, and had gained a sufficient lead (21-15, 24-19) to contain the spirited return of the Germans, and the series of serves from central Simon Torwie (four set points saved), and lead two sets to nothing. Before having to chase the score in the third set (9-14, 16-19), and come back to Lüneburg (23-23), in the hope of completing the match in three sets.
