Poland shut out Azerbaijan to top pool unbeaten

Article

Poland delivered a 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-23) shutout of Azerbaijan to finish on top of Pool A unbeaten and set up a semifinal clash with Turkey on Saturday. The first set was a tight contest for the most part of the first half, with Azerbaijan setting the pace. After 14-14, stepping up their offence, the Poles broke away, opening a wide lead, and never looked back. Magdalena Stysiak prevailed at the net (seven points) to lead her team to a 25-19 win. After 8-7 in the second set, Poland scored six in a row with Marlena Kowalewska behind the serving line to open a 14-7 gap.

Middle blocker Agnieszka Kakolewska ruled at the net with three stuffs and three spikes on the way to another 25-19 close. Improving their spiking effort with captain Yelyzaveta Samadova leading the way, Azerbaijan were in charge for a while in the middle part of the third set, but after 17-17 Poland gained control through the end. With most of the starters now resting on the bench, sub-in Martyna Lukasik scored seven times towards the 25-23 finish, while another sub-in, Monika Fedusio spiked the winning point. Samadova topped the scorers’ chart of the match on 14 points for Azerbaijan, while Lukasik contributed 12 towards Poland’s victory.
