Serbia sends Cuba to first loss at the 2012 FIVB World League – Volleyball News



Men’s national volleyball team of Serbia proved to be a detractor for Cuba on the second day of the 2012 FIVB World League. 

Cuba, which stamped a splendid win over Japan in the first match, dropped the second match to Serbia on Saturday. The Serbs hammered the Caribbean counterparts with 3–1 (25–19, 20–25, 27–25, 27–25) victory. The match was hosted by Japanese Hamamatsu, while more than 1100 spectators watched the cracking action of volleyball. 

Serbia had lost its previous match to defending champion Russia on Friday but made a great comeback in the next match and held off Cuba for 3-1 victory. 

Nikola Kovacevic played an instrumental role to Serbia’s success. He totalled 16 points and led his team to victory. Besides him four other Serbian players went into double-figure score. On Cuba’s side, Wilfredo Leon added match-high 20 points but it proved to be a failing effort as his team dropped the decision.
