Asseco Resovia Rzeszów volleyball players secured a victory over the newcomer from Chełm in the 21st round of PlusLiga. Although the Rzeszów team dominated the first two sets, the ambitious performance of the visitors led to a fourth set. However, Massimo Botti's squad managed to control the situation, taking all points on their home court. This win allows the Rzeszów team to maintain distance from the top ahead of the upcoming play-off phase.
On Valentine's Saturday, Asseco Resovia Rzeszów defeated InPost ChKS Chełm 3:1. The hosts started the match with great confidence, continuing their good run after a recent victory over Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie. In the first two sets, the Rzeszów team imposed their own game conditions, capitalizing on the newcomer's mistakes and building a significant lead early in the sets. Coach Massimo Botti could be pleased with his players' performance, as they dominated especially in serving and effectively finished attacks at the net. Asseco Resovia Rzeszów is one of the most decorated clubs in the history of Polish volleyball, a seven-time national champion with traditions dating back to 1905. However, the third set brought an unexpected turn of events. The team from Chełm, which has been performing surprisingly well in 2026, confirmed its reputation as a 'giant-killer'. The Chełm players, who have beaten teams like Bogdanka LUK Lublin and Jastrzębski Węgiel, improved their reception and began to pressure the Rzeszów side. Tenacious defense and effectiveness in counterattacks allowed the newcomer to win the set and prolong hopes for an upset at the Podpromie hall. <kluczowa-liczba wartość=
