Highlights I Semifinals I VakifBank ISTANBUL vs. Savino Del Bene SCANDICCI

The Kierfank on the left in their black and yellow tops and it's Markova that gets dog towering swing from Markova. But Castillo is there as she always is. She's had a great season, always passing in the 70s and the 80s. But Stradivari, Janchu unfolds in front of us. Two going to be talented teams but I feel Scandicchi are going to be up for this. Maya Ognjenovic could be her last chance to win a Champions League physical though. It's going to be a physical battle. Markova is not there with the pass so far. They've gone straight for the biggest threat with the serve. Andropova, it's a good step from Maya Ognjenovic who's used to running around all over the place and putting the ball in perfect positions with Serbia over the years. But it's the first monster block for Gunes. And again talking about how it would be playing in front of the opposing team's home fans and she said she'd enjoy it. And that serve certainly shows that she will enjoy it. She just won her first Turkish league for a very long time with the Kierfank. Vardzema has added again. The Kierfank haven't showed up yet and it started early on flourishing but they know that in Djembe Zulu you have somebody who can really bring some consistency to the performance and that's Franti hammering through into the angle. Four appearances. Top scorer with a playing as Franti can play outside and obviously can play on the right side as well. Serve straight down the line now. It's a good serve. They're dealt a bit of their own medicine, Scampici, but they get away with it. Starts two from the bench. Also another one to play that cry with that Linda Nowakilor but it's Nowakilor that goes on to the right side for this rotation. There's no libero, no setter. Doesn't matter. You don't need a block setter, or a libero. You just do it with middle blockers. Karolina serving. We'll sit in and play five. Three middle blockers, no setter, no libero. Still doesn't matter. The Kierfank again. Bogdanovic back in. The pass is off but it's a perfect set to open up the angle and Herbotz has played brilliantly so far behind Ferhat Akdas' creation. Herbotz is there. She's gonna have to hit a way out of a fiddle. She goes into the middle off the net. Well done from the Kierfank. They're fighting for everything. Second phase play through the pipe this time. More defense, more work off the net but it's Scampici in their first ever Champions League final. Four in the hunt for their first ever Champions League final that have come out. All guns blazing and taking the opening set against Scampici. Just looking for final number one and it would be huge for them and massive in Maja Oganianovic's quest to become a Champions League winner. Three up in the block. A couple of good serves in the opening set. Oganianovic fast to the outside. Bozzetti is there. Free ball incoming. Castillo pushes Antropova out the way. Maybe slightly telegraphed to the middle. Good run of serves. Continue with the serve. Antropova. Oh squeezes that ball back inside. Back to the middle. Antropova's put to the floor. It takes her out of the offense and free balls coming over. There's a free ball through the center and we're in that 2023 final. Barzema started with nine points. Oganianovic made 40 for the Kiffbanks. Argunesh 10 points. A team that included Icatch. Markova getting pushed across. They go deep on Icatch and that's a smart move. Just changing it up. Oganianovic and then sat in the cross court. Chance for Antropova again. Just stacking into the angle more and that service on to Castillo. Six away. Back through the middle. Tough school this for the Kiffbank at home. Scandicchia really winding up the hosts and their fans. Herbots deep and solid. She has been absolutely incredible. Could be a good sign for set three. It's a great serve from the right side. It's absolutely incredible. Antropova and the Carolina having to get involved. What a swing. Barzema just working off and fast to the sideline. There you have it. Scandicchia have taken it. Set three is underway. One that the Kiffbank must win here. They're 2-0 down and they're out of system already. Shabijidoulu is on on the outside. Showed up and brought their level. Still feel like we haven't seen the Kiffbank at full throttle yet but again. Maia stop it. Absolutely obliterated the Kiffbank here so far this evening. The pass isn't there. I catch the fight hasn't been there and it's one of those performances that currently is just well moving past them very quickly this game and they can't do much about it and they can't do much about Noakolor in the middle. Whatever they do. Position six. The back middle position. Antropova good step from Mininovich trying to bring in that right side outlet. Antropova good hands. Markova now from the right scores again. She's gonna have to do the line share of the spiking. Markova and it's gonna have to come. Serve straight down the line. It's a softer serve. That wasn't the risk. It's Maia Oguninovich's world. Leaves us straight away. Stop. That's a block reach of 315 from Markova. Passes a little tight and a little straight. Markova stop. I catches that. Two up in the block. Good cover from the Kiffbank. It's damp. Oh but Markova goes into the angle and surely now it's game over. Their first ever Champions League final. My word. It's been some performance from them. Cosetti with the tip this time. Victory of the season and their ninth 3-0. Can you believe that? Antropova to bring up match point. Antropova brings up match point. Certainly given it. Now serving to keep the Kiffbank in this match. It's an overpass. Antropova is there. Castillo going with the leg but to no avail. That's two saved. Off the bench and being really aggressive. Hubbard's in system. Third match point. Antropova sends one towards the bench. Scandicchi have done it. They have qualified for the Champions League final for the very first time. They've won their ninth consecutive Champions League game. Three sets to zero and they will play a Moco Canegliano tomorrow for gold.
