Germany remained unbeaten in Pool B after achieving a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic at the start of day 3 in Kolodruma sports hall in Plovdiv.

● A very competitive opener put the start of the match with both teams alternating the lead which was not expanded to more than 2 points throughout the set. The inspired Czechs fought hard but with a better percentage of reception (52% positive against 30%), Germany was the team that managed to take the advantage of the opponent errors made and opened the set score.

● It did not take much for the Czech Republic to tie despite falling 6 points behind at the beginning of Set 2 (1-7). Michaela Mlejnkova and Gabriela Orvosova were the Czech leaders on the court pushing hard from the serving line with a total of 3 aces for the team coached by Ioannis Athanasopoulos.

● Germany put themselves in trouble again in the third set and with as many as 10 errors could have started thinking about a tie-break. Still, with better performance on attack, the team of Felix Koslowski got closer to the win.

● A full effort from the Czech side after the break totally dominating on block in the fourth set (6 points). However, once the set progressed to its conclusion, Germany was the better-concentrated team and congratulated themselves with the second consecutive win at #EuroVolleyW.

● Louisa Lippmann led all the scorers contributing 20 points for the win of Germany.
