Highlights | Poland vs. Italy | CEV Trendyol EuroVolley 2026 | Women | Semifinals

How about that? We're underway and it's a good serve from Alessio Oro straight down the line. Again Piasecki is the target. Stasiak is going to get some early ball and the first thing is that Stasiak really is Poland's outlet and Stasiak against Andropova is a very very different matchup than what she's had out here before. Even against Turkey they have two more receiving outsides and Andropova is going to be really tough for Stasiak. For sure but can we give a shout out to this amazing defense from Cristina. She's taking the ball out of the stands here it's what a what a hustle. And that's one big thing you talk about this this balance of the Italian side they might sacrifice that is a bullet from Agonu two-time MVP. Yeah plus great athleticism combined. Great pass from Fasilo, Agonu to the middle Danesa. I mean you tell me better than but the sharp angles are going to disappear a little bit quicker. A little bit yeah. Tight round the back more quick offense from here for sure maybe a bit too quick. Poland are making Italy play hard here and then with an answer through the left side. Two up and as soon as they do get over the net good game all the same enjoying it immensely. That's a good rip. Giovannini's coming to do exactly that and then again Agonu is really into the game yeah and the whole competition she's been there. Now Italy five set points and they take the first one. The blocks have started to go through the roof here. Maybe fastball again and maybe the fastball for Stesjak is a is a tough one because she's already so high. That's true and with this block lineup you expect that Silla is maybe the worst blocker in Italy in the Italian team because she's the smallest girl but here you you can see her jump from the first set but the second is underway with Antropova just bulldozering the ball over at four as she does. Fasino's there they are there tonight Italy wow what an angle. Everybody else is liking but her own. Antropova, Stesjak smart both times they've used or the times they've used that uh Stesjak yeah I absolutely uh love watching Kami play and uh Sarah Farr's not too bad either. Poland have gone from the position. I would go as far to say this is Italy's best performance so far. Adegui, Amoco's, Paulina Damascus will be at your old side in Florence next year. Happy memories? Yeah for sure. And a happy memory for the Nazis. That's the downside to the fastball offense that we're seeing. Yes that's true. Wow oh what a dig was it off the head or was it off the hands? Three playing very high up Sinners there moving backwards that was unreal and they come again the ball's up again Poland keep coming. Antropova of course it goes back to the opposite Shulovska and she has come out and hammered it but Antropova two away Italy very comfortable there is the ball on the forefoot. Giovannini's in for Antropova I think she's coming to just stable up the defense and the reception. Sela goes again with the volley we've seen that a lot. Agonu unreal from Paolo Agonu. You said earlier hit the angle. Well I have to say I'm pretty impressed by Italy how they how their block defense is working. I mean he must have also been impressed by Shulovska. Yeah she's doing very good though. The outside maybe he's just going for full athleticism here and Shulovska that's why two very different players into the angle again. Nice I like that Odo repeats the ball you know Agonu makes one mistake and she gives Berkeley confidence to her attacker and gives another set. Would that be your to the line this time Agonu? What's here's a question who's had the quickest arm for you that you've even played with or against that just makes it. That they tip it over gives confidence to the setter. Yeah ace yeah how do you deal with that? Yeah go with whatever you get. Yeah whatever you can. Yeah Antropova they're celebrating here. It makes no sense to have two exactly the same setters you know. Polish style strong shoulder absolute crushing it. Double subs reversed and that is world class. They have brought themselves back in the game and they've been pretty comfortable to be fair in this set. Italy's pass has gone astray. Antropova one ace already off the top of the net band. Is it lucky? Is it unfortunate? We're about to find out. Ficino it might be fortunate. That's a bit tight. Italy cannot convert. That's tight from Oro under a bit of pressure and then to the line. Agonu 16 Antropova 11. As we're underway in set four in Italy again the tempo's a bit quick on the pass but they've got the outlet they need. Danese's back in and really moving quick. Such an important player for this talent team to be the Olympic world and European champions at the same time. Well then they're going to have to bring it. Everything will be earned here in Istanbul this evening. Silla. Chase gonna be dished to the outside. Silla again and always Silla is there. This set serves recently. 12-9. Here come Poland. Massive opportunity. Everything's much easier and from the commentary box. So now you're not a coach anymore right? No. Interesting to get the inside of a world-class setter of this generation. Then squeezing into the angle a little bit more. Has been on the money. Rabka's in there to help with the setting and keep three attacking options. This is probably Lavrini saying okay I haven't got many other things I can do and Sara Far is across again. Match point for Italy here for what is going to be a blockbuster final tomorrow.
