Antiga responded very quickly and decided to change Paul Zator. For the first time this season in the national team played the libero position Piotr Gacek, who in the national colors for the last time occurred in … 2010. The good disposition Matthew Mika impressed again and it was he was trying to pick up a team to fight.
In the second set, Poles laboriously earned the three-point advantage (16:13). It worked mainly due to the arrest of Paul Moroz and better game block. Also spin Bartosz Kurek in the attack, and all gave victory 25:21.

The Chosen Antiga do not have already gained a point and the hosts after the service hit Moroz had no problems at all and won 25:20.
