Aras Kargo Women — Eczacıbaşı Dynavit Women, Club Friendly Women

Aras Kargo fell to Eczacıbaşı Dynavit 0:3 in the women's cup on Tuesday evening. The visitors had nothing to do all evening, running through their opponents before the first interval closed. By then the pattern was clear enough.

Kargo arrive with a run of losses behind them. They lost 1:3 to VakıfBank last week and have not found their feet since. Three defeats in a row suggests they are running out of games before they can get over the line.

Dynavit come into this match on a different wave. They beat Beşiktaş 3:2 on Monday and have been competitive in tight fixtures. The away end never stopped, even when the score was level.

And here's the thing about cup matches. The margin does not always reflect the quality, but three sets without response tells a straightforward story. Dynavit got their substitutions spot on when it mattered.

Kargo had the game won inside twenty minutes if this were football, but in volleyball the pattern sets in earlier. They never got going against a side that knew what was required.
