With their star Swedish opposite on fire, VakifBank came back from a set down in Sunday’s AXA Sigorta Kupa Voley final and persevered through an extended tie-breaker to celebrate with a 3-2 (21-25, 25-21, 25-13, 27-29, 17-15) victory and successfully defend the cup they won last year. It was their eighth trophy in the history of the competition. Only Eczacibasi Dynavit Istanbul, with nine trophies in their showcase, have won the Turkey Cup more times than VakifBank.
