Home party continues as Azerbaijan are through to EuroVolley semis
Baku, September 29, AZERTAC
Azerbaijan’s winning streak at the 2017 women’s EuroVolley continued on Friday afternoon as the hosts beat Germany 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-21) to claim a spot in the semis - the first time they achieve such a feat since their debut in the competition back in 2005.
Azerbaijan had dropped only one set in the pool stage of the tournament - to Germany - and despite yet another slow start, they once again had the upper hand in their second clash with a young German side to be a step away from what would be their first, historic EuroVolley medal. On Saturday, Azerbaijan will open the programme of the semis playing 2015 silver medallists The Netherlands in what promises to be a truly exciting game - in a repeat from the World Championship qualifier played back in June, which Azerbaijan won 3-0.
