Paola Egonu and VakifBank Istanbul crash Myriam Sylla and Vero Volleyball Milan

The CEV Champions League quarterfinal first leg match in Istanbul between VakifBank Istanbul and Vero Volley Milano ends with a dry 3-0 (25-18; 25-19; 25-17). Against what will probably be her next club, Paola Egonu churns out an MVP-format performance, with 21 points scored, overwhelming Myriam Sylla and her teammates.

The reigning European champions dominated from start to finish, conceding no chance to Gaspari’s girls, who were too inaccurate to hold their own against the Turks and with some important defections. Tuesday, March 21 at 8 p.m. the return in Milan to try to overturn the result.
