Even though the Italian girls won the game in three sets, it was not an easy game for Davide Mazzanti’s side.
Both sides gave a huge effort, especially in the second and third set, when they played at the high level, extending the sets for a few points.
Paola Egonu was the most dominant player of the game with 26 points, while Nataliya Goncharova had 18 on the other side.
Recall that in a bronze medal match, Turkey defeat Brazil in five sets! Hande Baladin from Turkey was the best scorer in this game, finishing it with 25 points.
