The Iranian squad managed to win two sets against the hosts at the Hala Sportowa arena in the southern Polish city of Cz?stochowa on Saturday to gain its first point in the current season of the tourney.
Iran won the first set of the match 25-22 but failed to keep up with the good work and lost the second set to the Bia?o-Czerwoni with the same score.
Despite Irans best efforts, Poland pummeled Iran in the third set 25-16 with massive support from the stands but Iranians took the fourth set 25-22 to set the match up for the tie breaker round, in which Poland downed the Asian champs 15-6.
