Even though Marichev’s side was trailing by one, they managed to make comeback and to win another three sets 21-25, 25-18, 25-12, 25-20.

Tatiana Kosheleva dominated with 22, while Obmochaeva and Scherban had 14 points each. On the other side, Neriman Ozsoy ended game with 18 points.

It will be remake of EuroVolley 2015 final! Russia will meet the Dutch team tomorrow and the winner will get the ticket for Rio Olympics. Last time, Russia beat Guidetti’s side and won the medal, but we are wondering is there any chance for the Netherlands?
