Poland
Poland started the Week 2 match in Pool 8 in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, against Brazil strongly, taking the first two sets. The same balance of power was seen at the beginning of the third set as Poland had a comfortable lead (8-3) but squandered it until the end fo the set. When you provide the hand of salvation to Brazil, it usually ends with them firmly grasping it. Hence the tie-break. Although, Poland had their chances to avoid this scenario given that they led by four in the fourth set (6-2). But, after Poland took a 7-2 in the fifth set, it was all over for Brazil. Poland are at 4-1 in the tournament. Malwina Smarzek shone once again for Poland with 28 points, while Agnieszka Kąkolewska was amazing in the block (7). Ana Beatriz Corrêa “Bia“ top-scored for Brazil with 16 points of which 7 came from the block.
Netherlands-vs-Bulgaria
The Netherlands made their fans at the Omnisport hall happy with a four-set victory over Bulgaria. The Dutch team recovered from losing the opening set, showing some exceptional volleyball in the third set in which they created a 9-0 lead. Marrit Jasper highlighted the Netherlands with 22 points. She made 5 kill blocks, just like her teammate Nicole Oude Luttikhuis. Gergana Dimitrova scored 16 points for Bulgaria, who still did not win and are stuck to the bottom of the standings.
