The Dutch girls didn’t want to play more than three sets so they simply smashed the rival, especially in the second set, when Croatia barely took 8 points.
Anne Buijs marked the game with 16 points, while Lonneke Sloetjes added 12.
In the quarterfinals, the Netherlands will play against Italy. With this defeat, Croatia have finished the participation at the EuroVolley.
