Highlights | Italy vs. Finland | CEV Enel EuroVolley 2026 Men | Quarter-Final

It is do or die. It is win or go home. Emotions will be running high. CVNL Eurovolley 2026. The final match of the quarterfinals. Oh no, Doug. Diokhile, he gets one cross. That'll do. Benelli again. Last arm. 11 points had both Mathy and Sanguinetti in the last match. Denmark. Oh, what an arm. That's a response. They haven't played France yet. Back of a swing. We are tied at 14. And the fans fully engaged in this match, as you might imagine. And so is Romodeau. Yet anyways, still time for it. Good topspin. Ball for Giannelli. Off the hands of the block. Finland coming in again. Down the line. Mathy has been absolutely... Look at the block so far, two for Italy. They just so happen to be up by two points. Coincidence? I think not. Oh yes, and another one. Mathy is back in business. Big block for Finland to get us underway with set number two. It's a very solid Italian team. Finland are going to have to find a little bit extra. Take. And a good scoop as well. And he does it. Count it. Martilla again, the 23-year-old. The older of the two brothers gets an ace serve. Finland are in this competition, but Italy refusing to back down. Coach in the timeout saying, hey, patience. Finland are on set point. And it's short. Sanguinetti again. Klavia in that order. Oh, what a block. What a block for Finland. Set point Finland. It's a good cover. Chance to close it. And they will. Finland are back in this match. So Finland have done it. They have pushed back against Italy. And we are now one set apiece. As Finland are in. Top spin serve. Once again through the outside. What a block. What a finish. Finland publishing some net play once again. Good response from Finland. Still a long way to go, but something to think about. Especially if the block continues. Finland, I guess. Confused. Good reaction by Finland. Good defensive play. And that's what's been keeping them in these rallies. Converting. Gap is slimming. Only with a chance to swing, but it goes off hands. Back to Jokula. Palazzo is there. Romano can't put it away. Neither can Finland once again. But it ends in a big block. 16-12 lead. Finland. Handle the first ball. Convert it quickly. It's a little targeted. Romano. Denied. Finland are on another level. They have to hang on. Serve on Porto. Back to Ryczycki. And that's not going anywhere. One to watch. Again. And again. Jokula for Finland. Go after Porto. It's an overpass. Once again. And there's the powerful rip. And Finland. Because Finland are the ones who have been the aggressors. They are up two sets to one. Literally have to find a response. They do. Alassi. Fresh-legged after only playing about a set and a half. And that's a connection. Alassi. Goes high on the hands. The overload is there. Finland once again. Romano. From the line. Tip is there. Palazzo reading it early. Back to Lavia. And the space is his. Ready to serve. UC Irvine player. Oh wow. Finland again. Float serve is good. Portolo. It's an ace. Yes it is. Gianelli. Does he go for the same shot? Goes down the middle this time. Jokula becomes the setter. Take from Palazzo. Chance to swing away. And Romano goes over the top of the block. Finland dip it into their bench. Mikko Suikkonen. To serve. Good one. Chance for Italy. And it's ripped. We'll find out. Set number five is underway. Finland still on the left. Still on the white. And Italy still on the right. Still on the blue. Getting down to the wire. Finland close this gap. It has to happen from the serve. Oh that's a good one. Comes over. Stays in play. Come on. Make that one point in it. Have to receive and they do. Back again to Portolo. Who hammers it down the pipe. They serve for Finland. Finland are right there with Italy here in the fifth. Italy have to keep their nerve. But it is Finland who come up with another huge block. Italy get a lot off the hook. It's match point. Had to go in. Italy must make the point. Romano. Jokala. Into hands. That stays in play. Finland once again. What a good touch. Jokala. Can he get through? Back to Romano. And it is gone wide. I cannot believe it. Finland have done the miraculous.
