The girls from Belarus didn’t have enough fuel for another great comeback after managing to do it against Croatia yesterday.
Italy simply were a much better team than Belarus. The opening set was very uncertain, pushing both teams to the limits. Fortunately for the Italian girls, they took the lead 27-25.
The second set was much easier for Italy as they doubled the lead by taking this part of the match 25-18! Belarus didn’t want to finish this game in three sets and they extended the game by winning the third set.
In the fourth, Italy came back with a good display, smashing the rival 25-21 and claiming the victory 3-1!
