Challenge Cup Round of 16: Altekma 1-3 Milano The CEV Challenge Cup quarterfinal hopes for Turkish side Altekma were extinguished on their home court as they fell 1-3 to Italy's Power Volley Milano in a hard-fought encounter. The match, which kicked off at 01:00 local time, saw the visitors assert their technical superiority and experience to secure a commanding first-leg advantage, winning the sets 25-22, 23-25, 25-19, 25-20. The opening set was a tense affair, with Milano's powerful serving and organized block disrupting Altekma's rhythm, allowing them to edge it 25-22. The home crowd roared back to life in the second set as Altekma, led by their passionate outside hitters, fought back fiercely to level the match by taking it 25-23. However, that proved to be their last stand. Milano's control from the service line intensified in the third set, creating easy transition points, and they closed it out 25-19. The fourth set followed a similar pattern, with Altekma's errors creeping in under pressure, and Milano sealed the comprehensive victory 25-20. The key focus point was Milano's dominance in the serving and passing phases, which consistently put the Turkish reception under duress and prevented their middles from getting involved in the offense. This result leaves Altekma with a steep mountain to climb in the return leg in Italy, needing a straight-sets victory of a significant margin to advance. Milano, meanwhile, takes a giant step towards the semifinals. Post-match, the Altekma coach acknowledged the challenge, stating, "Milano showed their quality in crucial moments. We had our chances in the second set but couldn't maintain that level." The Milano manager was pleased, saying, "It was a tough environment, but the team showed great maturity. This is a good result, but the job is only half done." The starting lineups featured Altekma's usual domestic stars against a Milano side blending Italian internationals with seasoned foreign players.
