They controlled the tempo in each set, and while Kolding managed to stay competitive in phases, they were unable to sustain pressure for long enough to turn the match in their favour. Aalborg Volley’s clean 3-0 victory was a testament to their preparation and tactical discipline.

Where the match was won

• Mentality on the road: Aalborg never allowed Kolding to build momentum, responding to every small run from the home side with immediate answers.
