Rahimova was unstoppable and only after three sets she left the court with 30 points beside her name. It was a huge step of Azerbaijan towards the quarterfinals, they will need two more sets tomorrow if Germany defeat Hungary in three or four sets.
On the other side, Malwina Smarzek also had a good display, finishing the game with 17 points. Poland will definitely play in the 1/8 finals and it remains to see whether they will start from the second or the third place in the Pool.
