Germany 🇩🇪 vs. China 🇨🇳 - Highlights | Women's VNL 2025

Captain Camilla Weitzel at the first serve. Not ideal, trying things a little bit tenderly to start it off. Mimi Vesca comes in to save it. Hey, whatever gets it to the floor. Third serve. Vesca from the backcourt again. There's the big block of China. Still up. There's never any kind of quit on China's side. All the attackers coming. Beautiful. That's Wu Mengjie. Zhimu Xin turns it through the block. Chen Yu. Pogani outside. Back in beautifully. Nice dig. You were talking about Germany's defense. We're seeing it here. I love the chest pound by Anastasia Cekulia for Germany. Pass is good by Artmann. Tips deeper. What a dig! And a kick to finish off this set. Count it. Think it offensively. I mean that is huge for Germany. Just even for morale and motivation to get those balls off the floor. That's a great shot from Pogani. Look how much angle there is on that, too. I mean, Pogani is so far inside, just throws her left arm to just get a scoop and try. Back again. That was definitive. Hindemann in now. Lefty with a different look for China to defend. Looks the same. And now it's China who've really figured out the offense of Germany. Klopp trying to swing that back. Hartmann's face. A serve! Third one of this service run for Camilla Meitzel. Meitzel's serve is so difficult because it comes from such a high contact point. You can see she's already one of the top. If I got the point, maybe I wouldn't have said it. China with the lead for the first time since 13. The block, though, doing great work. Serving through the set. Pass is good. Outside. Blistering, but out. And Germany takes set number two. They lead two sets to zero. First strike from the backcourt. Little ball. Pogani speeds in. That time it falls. What's drama? Dong Chengyu again. This time, solid pass. From the backcourt, it's Dong. Drum Yu Shen and 5-0 run from China. Pogani, Pogani, passing beautifully. Dong, got the Midas touch. Runs out the closer you get to 25. Meitzel. Yeah, Germany were due for a big block from the pipe and outside. Just missing slightly. Back. Vesca dug. Not sure whether it was out or not. Strobel plays it safe. And the block waits for it. Dong serving for the set. Pogani, heroic dig. Big digs both sides. China does it. They close out. Set number three. Germany leading two sets to one. Middle, what a dig. Quick to the middle, mishit. It's sort of 92 kilometers an hour. And Dong Chengyu. Everything for China. Looking crisp. Just crisp. With plenty of space. Perfect delivery from the 16-year-old. More heat. Kindemann. Free ball brought in. Negros. Through the middle, still in play. Over the shoulder, he ducks. Dong Chengyu, shut down. China set point number two. Having served, received, stacked to the left frontcourt setter. Back again. It's still good. There's a double contact over the net. And China takes set number four. We're 15 points to the sixth seed in the finals. Germany goes on top in the win prediction. Fickle fans. Ball out. Now it's China making mistakes. Start with a huge four-point lead. That's hard to come back from. That was a great call. There's the touch. Good pick up. Dong Chengyu. Everybody waiting for the big heat. They're going to take a breath before she serves. Ball out. And they're locked at 16. In real time. I know. Yeah, nothing on the net at least. It does give the coach a minute or a second to match point China. Off the block. Extra points. What else would we do? Dong Chengyu serving for the match. Pass is solid. Back again. Gutsy swing by Shekseh. Serving for the match. Pass is perfect to the middle. Oh, Nongjie. Pass is good. Altmeier. That's a big dig up. Dong Chengyu outside. It's done. China completes the reverse sweep over Germany.
