Match Report

Turkey through to the Semi Finals after a dominant display against Poland

31 August 2021

Playing in front of a sea of red flags Turkey booked a Semi Finals spot for a fourth consecutive EuroVolley Women tournament. The defending silver medalists dominated in all phases of the game beating Poland in straight sets to celebrate match #100 in the history of the competition.

 

● 17-year old Martyna Czyrnianska started at outside spiker for Poland and the Turks wasted no time getting to her. The teenager committed a serve error, a reception error and got just 20% kill rate in attack. Still Poland was up by four when Ebrar Karakurt went on a scoring spree. An ace sandwiched between two monster spikes gave Turkey a lead they never relinquished. There were five aces in total (all by Turkey) in the first set.

 

● The EuroVolley 2019 silver medalists quickly jumped to a four-point lead that only grew bigger. Suffocating block, 73% kill rate in attack, three aces and a number of spectacular saves by libero Simge Akoz. All that contributed to the 11-points difference in the final score.

 

● Poland kept the score tied until 13-13 in the third set. Then Hande Baladin and Eda Erdem hit timely aces helping Turkey build a comfortable lead. On the first two match points Karakurt was stopped by kill blocks by Zuzanna Efimienko-Mlotkowska but on the third time of asking Turkish outside spiker put an exclamation point with a thunderous spike.

 

● Turkey finished with ten aces. Karakurt was the top scorer with 20 points for the winners. For Poland Magdalena Stysiak finished with 14.

“I would like to thank all of our supporters. It was really amazing to play in front of them. The key for today’s win was our aggression. At the start of the tournament our goal was to get a medal. Now we’re going to Belgrade hungry for gold.”

Hande Baladin
Outside Spiker, Turkey

“It was a difficult match for us. Poland played well but my players had courage and aggression. They are very, very tired. But they never give up. The atmosphere in Plovdiv was just incredible. I know it’s not far away from Istanbul, but still, it was amazing. But do you know what the greatest thing is? The fans in Turkey watched the match in the parks, in a big stadium... I saw this before only for football. That's why I'm very proud, because my team gave a great night to the Turkish fans.”

Giovanni Guidetti
Head Coach, Turkey

“It's very difficult to talk at this moment. We gave 100% and it was not enough. Turkey is a really strong team and we have no luck against them in every important match. We lost in a very tough match a year ago in the Olympic qualification for Tokyo. Today we lost 0-3, but I'm proud of my team. Maybe it's not enough to give everything when playing against Turkey, but in the women's volleyball they are one of the strongest teams in the world. Now I cry but I'm really so proud of my teammates.”
