A little bit too much in the shoulders for that one from Jansu, putting it tight.
That one though is okay and well played.
Scooping that ball out of the net, it's still going.
That didn't hit the floor.
Now it does.
Those touches out of the net from Maki Fbank were exquisite.
So easy to have touched the net with the hands.
But then the be quick is fantastic.
It's a free swing from Bogu.
Going after Franti, frontcourt swing and she's bullied it through.
And she will take the point.
Absolutely magnificent, eye catch.
He's catching the eye here with that kind of defense, isn't she?
That was just incredible.
You're expecting that ball to be done, dusted.
Okay, Voskovic gets a swing at the net.
That's going down.
Oh, no, it isn't.
Set point by Maki Fbank.
Saved for the moment by Zasavashi.
That was a tricky one.
Free ball.
Nice take from Gray.
A good finish from Hende.
So another set point saved.
It's dropping short.
Gaby with no way through.
Thompson looking for a way and she does.
She finds the gap and Maki Fbank take the set.
25-19.
What a start for them.
Franti makes a good touch.
Free ball for Zasavashi.
Ballot didn't slow down.
There might be a swing chance here for Maki.
Gaby doesn't find a way through.
And Zasavashi getting a real good handle on there, aren't they?
They've shut her down a few times in this set.
And now it's 21-21.
Is Shakiselle driving?
Fashionably late each time to make those stuffs.
Excellent.
Too many touches.
That's a brilliant save from Sime.
Three front corner taggers for Maki.
Ganesh, oh no!
Way through for her.
What a block from Shakiselle.
That was a moment when you felt maybe Maki would get the lead here.
They would.
Reassert themselves.
But Shakiselle says, no, no, no.
She's missed it.
Would you believe it?
Lovely set chance and wanted to reestablish Ganesh.
And Ganesh misses.
And now it is Zasavashi with the lead.
What a turnaround in this set.
18-13 up.
That keeps back work.
Good ball.
Thompson can't put it down.
Good touch by Franti.
Tough one for Gabi.
Too tough.
It's set point now for Zasavashi.
This is brilliant.
The timing now on the blocking is perfect for Zasavashi against Gabi.
Well played, Gabi.
Set point save for the moment.
Who's going back to serve?
It's going to be Gabi going back to serve.
Set point down.
That time she's just over the top of the block.
That's awesome.
Lovely pass for the set.
And they do it.
Boscovic rises to the occasion.
It's Zasavashi's take.
It's 25-23.
It's one set all.
It's all to play for.
Lovely pick up from Gray.
That might stay in play.
Chase for Eikach.
Oh, she's so unlucky.
Oh, yeah.
Slide out.
Oh, carpet burn.
Nice touch from Elif.
Well played, Boscovic.
Better chance now for her to do something with this.
And she does.
It's Zasavashi, 23-21.
A worry for Boudetti.
Good cover from Eikach.
And that time Thompson finds the angle she's looking for.
One in it, but Zasavashi side out for set point.
But Franci's going back to serve.
Can she make it tricky?
That's such a good play, isn't it?
What a great swing.
There's a chance for Vakifbank to get level.
Thompson.
Good touch in the block by Zasavashi.
It's Boscovic who somehow finds a way through.
Set point in Zasavashi.
Can they go 2-1 up after being 1-0 down?
Ogbogu's off the net, can't close the gap.
Well left by Eikach.
Ganesh is on to the front row.
Ogbogu back to serve.
One side out, one chance.
The easiest chance for Zasavashi to win this set.
Oh, they do and she's late.
Handy takes the point.
If Zasavashi take the set, they lead 2-1.
That's so well played.
Which way is this set going to go?
23-23.
There's a change coming for Zasavashi.
Yaprak's coming on to serve.
Well, I don't think she can, can she?
Although actually Vakifbank have requested a net touch challenge,
so that's why she can't just yet.
Oh, yes, she did.
She did.
You don't know, it's not that.
Don't worry about that.
You don't have to worry about that.
Because Vakifbank didn't grab the net.
But where did she grab it?
I think she grabbed it inside the antenna.
Vakifbank have challenged the net touch.
There's the net touch.
Here it comes.
Net touch.
It was in the net touch.
It's before the ball is out of play.
So that should be Vakifbank's ball.
There it is.
There is a fault.
Now, what are they saying?
Now, what are they asking for here?
What am I missing?
I think it's a counter challenge coming, but I can't see anything wrong.
But then I was only looking at what Hande Balding was doing.
So challenge from, a counter challenge from Zasavashi.
And then we'll get to see what I missed.
And if you've already seen it, well done.
The captain just said that one at a time, ladies and gentlemen.
Talk to me, captain, one at a time.
So here's the fault there.
That's the fault, net touch.
And then the rally's over.
No matter what's happening with the ball now, it doesn't matter.
And it's the right call.
It's Vakif's point.
They've got set point.
Boscovich, bounce it.
Same set point.
She is the boss, isn't she, Boscovich?
Is she tougher than the rest?
Maybe.
Timeout, Vakif Bank.
Nice ball in.
Thompson.
And that's it.
We are going to five.
Vakif Bank take the set, 25-23.
They are sensing it.
Gunes gets the ball down.
But now it's Asebashi.
Gabi with the serve.
Boscovich.
Massive block for Gunes.
It's never over till it's over.
This would be an incredible comeback
and it isn't beyond the realms of possibility, that's for sure.
Is he going to go to Boscovich again?
Will he go to Ballotin?
It won't go down unless it's on the pipe
because it's Gray who's in the front row.
It is Gray.
It is down.
It is in.
And it is now match point for Asebashi.
Lovely set.
Fabulous finish.
Elif with the serve.
Oh, that's a tricky one.
Has to go to Thompson to keep Vakif in it,
but it's been dug.
There's a swing chance.
Boscovich.
The Club World Champs 2023.
What an incredible match.
What an incredible performance.
But now she can enjoy it.
And now the emotions come flooding through.
She wouldn't let herself get carried away.
She was focused, determined.
And not until the last point was won
did it all come out like it does now.
Well played, Boscovich.
Well played, Vakif Bank.
Fitting it went to five.
