VNL 2022: straight sets win for The Netherlands and Slovenia (3-0 vs. Serbia!) in second day in Gdańsk
2 min read
In first match of the day in Pool 6 in Gdańsk, Poland, The Netherlands celebrated a very important win against China, by beating the rivals in straight sets 3-0 (29:27, 25:12, 25:13). Nimir Abdel Aziz led the winners with an impressive amount of 30 points.
Also Slovenia National Team registered an important victory in the opening match of the third week of the competition.
By beating Serbia 3-0 (25:15, 25:19, 25:23) in just an hour and 15 minutes they kept their chances alive for the Final 8 tournament in Bologna, Italy. Slovenia’s job against Serbia was easier due to the fact that their rival was missing some top-class players. Both the Slovenians and the Serbs are at four wins and five defeats, still behind the places that bring the much-desired ticket to the finals. For the first time in this year’s edition of the Nations League, Slovenia played in, at least on paper, the most experienced line-up. For the first time, head coach Mark Lebedew was able to count on Čebulj, captain Urnaut (top scorer of the game with 12 points and 73.33% attack; 11/15), and Štern.
