Belgium vs Ukraine Epic Volleyball Highlights | Women's VNL 2026

Comes in down to one attack from Diluc. The left hand on the pipe attack from Oleksandr Milenko. Well it's helpful to have a player like Milenko available out of the back row. And it's 147 matches and now buys in her fourth ace of the VNL. On the attack. Oh and then this time she's got more inside. But Ukraine most importantly are level after being a few points down. Martin that left hand down the line is dangerous. That was about a 25 year old. Rattles that one as a little trickler. I mean in the world of trickle serves this is the best you can get where it bounces straight up. Tucked up down the line. Gets it back though. Another set that's a little bit tight and flat in the net. The blocker just in. Shorter one this time. Lemons takes it. Comes in. Martin on the angle. Setters out. Into the hands. Quick reaction. Oh not pretty. But that's much better. Now Ukraine lead 2019. Favorite. Radovich. Opportunity here. And Archuk on the angle. Good take from Nargles. And they've gone straight into the hands. Not the best decision making from Belgium there. And Ukraine find themselves in a really strong situation. Timeout called. Lemons who's caught trouble beforehand. And she's doing it again. Is there a challenge coming in or anything from? You find yourself now feeling a little bit more pressure on your shoulders. Out wide. Nuda on the angle. Well you wouldn't know it. There was no pressure there on that one. Got strong swing and you know these are the moments that Ukraine has got to learn from. Will Ukraine get us underway with the second set? And they go into the change of ends. Asking questions here. Taking the power up option first. Then the little tip over the top. By five. On the back line this time. The left hand on the angle. Well defended. And Malenko on the pipe. This time she switches up to one. So she's utilizing. Ronaldo style celebration there. Martin from the back line. Well that ball was absolutely all the money for it. Six is them here in the second set. Slide attack. Tip coming in. Rantzl not the cleanest touch. Oh that is a monster block coming in from Ulyana Kotar. Only the second block point of the match for Ukraine. But a textbook block right there. The left hand of the middle. Quick run through the middle. Across the body. Another free ball opportunity. Set has a quick look. And then again that shoot set. Finds the gap. And another put away. And Sass sends that out wide. Off the net. Chance here. In transition. Malenko on the angle. Good up from Rappelberg. Rolls down the line. Now Deleu does a really, really mature. Malenko on the pass. Chest defense up and a full stretch. Benicio Republic which guaranteed them stay in the VLL which is their aim. But then they had a 3-1 loss against Canada and 3-0 loss against Italy. And a rest day before this one. Lovely set. Block is there. Nagels underneath it. Martin on the angle. Absorbed from the setup. After that unorthodox approach and swing. Yeah it's the outside hitters from Belgium that just haven't really been prevalent yet. Big block on the angle. Perfect into deep five. And now that is block number nine. And the pressure off the Ukrainian team is a very nice team to watch. Martin in midair also. When she connects that ball like that. A very good watch. Could be going into their game with a fate already sealed. This was tight. Malenko gets herself back out wide. But goes to Artashuk. Now to Martin. And then 11 blocks now for Ukraine to fall from Belgium. Tries to get through the fingers this time. Not there. Nuda. This was tight. Smart tip. Nice cover there. Three in style. Nuda chases that one down. But a good catch from the technical table. From Kotar. On the slide. Chance here. Out wide. Nuda. Oh the block shuts them down. They know they'll have another swing. Now one point saved. But lots of chances here still for Ukraine. Opportunity here from the back line. Malenko. It goes out. And Ukraine have done what people may have said was the impossible task coming into this week. They took them to the final game of week three.
