The editorial
Source: The Hindu · 18 Mar 2024Delhi Toofans registered a 14-16, 15-9, 15-11, 15-13 win to leapfrog opponent Calicut Heroes and go to the top of the Super 5 table in the Prime Volleyball League here on Wednesday.
The first set was a nail-biter, with both teams showcasing their attacking prowess. Calicut’s Ukkra Pandian and Jerome Vinith displayed their skills, while Delhi’s Daniel Aponza countered with a barrage of powerful smashes. However, a crucial net fault by Aponza handed Heroes a two-point advantage, allowing them to snatch the set 16-14. The second set remained equally close, with the score at 8-8. A successful review by Toofans turned the tide in their favour, and with the help of their opposite hitter Lazar Dodic, they secured the set. The momentum shifted in the third as Dodic and Rohit Kumar stepped up for Delhi. Aponza continued to shine with impressive blocks, thwarting Heroes’ attempts to regain control.
