Number 5
So for the second time in this second set, the advantage is eight.
Ercan with the serve.
Quick reflexes from Boz. It goes over on the first contact.
Now can they bump it over on this third contact?
The skipper does exactly that.
Points still in play.
And the points have gone in favour of...
What a recovery from Turkey. Germany began to celebrate.
But the deflection of Özbey
means that even though their celebrations were premature,
it's still Germany who come out on top with the points.
But Turkey demonstrating terrific resilience here.
Look at that for a save.
Absolutely incredible from Akars.
And three aces.
Well reached by Yildirim.
Boz puts it over.
Kirillov, the contact for Russia.
What a save from Akars.
The reverse step from Özbey.
Another backcourt spike from Yildirim.
Getting down low is Kalitskaya.
And it's the points in favour of Turkey.
Points in the match so far.
Pogany putting to some difficulty with that service reception.
What a save by Akars.
Here's a third contact for Turkey.
Boz with a high-speed spike from the backcourt.
Ball near the net.
Cleverly pushed over on the first contact by Özbey.
And it's Germany's turn to change the tempo.
Pushing it over on contact number one.
And it's Turkey who come away with the points.
Of what was a really interesting point.
A lengthy rally full of skill.
Changes of tempo.
Thinking under pressure.
Demonstrates...
Great pick-up from Larsen.
Oh, this is wonderful stuff.
Look at this from Turkey.
USA go again.
And into the net from Akinradarov.
And that's the value of never giving up.
That was a great pick-up by Turkey.
Well, this ball looked dead.
But somehow, she got an arm on it.
And the rest of her team managed to recycle it.
Could be the turning point.
By Simge.
With her running spikes on.
Good up, Antanasyevich.
Blagojevich with a good touch.
Oh, that's a great pick-up from Dillek.
Who's only just come on to court.
Turkey, though, can't put the ball on the floor.
They might get a better chance now.
Izmiroglu tipped it the wrong side of the block.
Because Antanasyevich was waiting.
Good cover by Aleksic.
Mihailovic can only tip.
Oh, what a pick-up from Erkoz.
And Baladin gets it off the block and away.
What a play that is from Turkey.
It's another mega rally.
So Yildirim with the service reception.
Ercan sees her spike turn back.
Erkoz with the set.
A clever touch from Boz.
Reverse set for Lipman.
Erkoz called into action once more.
Third contact sees Ercan put it over.
And conclude the rally.
Ercan with 10 points in the match now.
On that her 8th clean kill.
Leading scorer for her team.
Breaching a trio of German defenders.
Clever change of play.
Almost catching Japan out.
Terrific court coverage by the Japanese squad.
Good save by Erkoz.
And then Karakur finding the net with her attempt.
You've got the jump serve, the jump float serve.
But that's a variation of the jump float serve.
Being contacted from a good 4 or 5 metres away from the baseline.
So you've got this ball travelling on a flat line.
But Solov really making that a difficult proposition for the passing units.
Something that has been introduced or was introduced on the beach.
A while back.
So Lazarenko serving.
Terrific response.
They've got to get it over here now.
And Turkey do so.
Good recognition by Özbey.
Özbey scrambling once again.
Erkoz with the bump.
Boz with the contact.
Turkey under significant pressure here.
Russia with time to set.
Lazarenko provides it.
What a save from Erkoz in the backcourt.
The Libro at a dynamic best.
And a cross-court point.
Goes in favour of Turkey who somehow, somehow turned that one around
when they were on the rack for the majority of the exchange.
Miriam Boz with a cross-court kill.
From 16-7 down.
To ultimately close.
To 20 points to 22.
Erkoz digs out the spike.
Turkey must get it over here with Boz.
They do so.
And the attempted spike from the left wing is turned.
Palatin with the serve.
Another good dig from Erkoz.
Karakurt.
Good pick-up by Pusic.
Better chance now for Turkey.
Ismailoglu.
And she's done it.
She gets it through the block.
Mihajlovic can't keep it in play.
And it's set point now.
Works.
So probably not ever going to be changed.
Send things in the other thing.
You just wonder how much technical information the players get now.
And they're playing quite well.
That's what they do for a living.
Come to a club because of what they can do.
And how they fit into the tactics of a team.
And what they need to work on technically.
But any player worth their salt is always wanting to improve.
Always wanting to get better.
So we'll crave technical input.
Brilliant save there.
Great team effort from Minas.
Notting gets them the point.
Kim comes in for the hit.
Erkoz in there.
Just barving over the attack line.
That's super.
Ibarro played by Lea Silva.
Well, it's gone in Tatsabashi's way.
Good lod.
Good up.
Natalia slowed down the ball a little bit too high.
She went a bit too quick.
Unable to get through it.
Good scramble from Navara.
Better opportunity this for Tatsabashi.
That time working the block.
What they can do can change events.
Erkoz.
There comes Tatsabashi again.
Wiping her off the block.
It's Natalia Pereira now for 14-9.
Kim now serves at 15-all in this second set.
That's all the experience and the class.
Carly Lloyd, deceptive one down the line.
Taisa Menezes.
Taken by Simba Erkoz.
Fabulous anticipation.
Of course it's needed from the Ibarro.
Good ball.
