    Turkey book last semifinal vacancy after tie-breaker win over Belgium

    Turkey book last semifinal vacancy after tie-breaker win over Belgium

    Turkey advanced to Saturday’s semifinals of the continental Olympic qualifier in Apeldoorn after a dramatic 3-2 (25-20, 25-15, 20-25, 20-25, 15-10) victory over Belgium in the direct clash for the second place in Pool B. Dominating at the net, in both hitting and blocking, Turkey prevailed throughout the first set. Their advantage was extended to as many as seven points. Britt Herbots helped Belgium get back to within three, but an unstoppable back-row spike by Hande Baladin finished the set at 25-20 Turkey’s way. Setter Cansu Ozbay continued to shine in creating opportunities for the Turkish offence in the second set and opposite Meryem Boz converted as many of those into points, including the back-row hit for the 25-15 winner.

    The third set was very competitive through 12-12, after which the Belgians managed to break away for good. Some strong serving, combined with efficient spiking by Celine Van Gestel, led to a 25-20 Belgian win, shaped up by Van Gestel herself with a successful spike. In a hard-fought fourth set, the lead changed hands several times. At 22-20, Turkey seemed very close to the match win, but Belgium took the next five points on some superb serving from Marlies Janssens and with Herbots hammering the last ball for 25-20.

    With setter Naz Aydemir in the starting line-up for the tie-breaker, Turkey won the first two rallies and never let go of their lead again. With Boz once again spearheading the offence, they cruised on to a 15-10 close. On an overhead pass from Naz, Boz put the ball on the floor for the victory. Boz top-scored a total of 26 points, including three aces. Herbots finished with 22 points for Belgium.

    "From now on, every game is like a final for us. Against Poland tomorrow, they are a really good team, they won against The Netherlands yesterday, they are good servers, they have good confidence, and are well organized. I remember last time we played against them in the semifinals of the European Championships it was a really tough game. But I believe we are ready because today's tie-break game gave us a feeling that I can't describe."

    "The first two sets we were not finding a rhythm, and Turkey was playing at a good level. I think after the second set we fought more, we followed what was said in the scouting report. It was nice that we turned the game around, but it does not matter if you cannot win."

    Ilka Van de Vyver
    Captain of Belgium
