In a nail-biting showdown at Beijing's National Indoor Stadium, the FIVB Women's Nations League delivered an epic match! Poland pulled off a stunning 3-1 victory over China (set scores: 25-22, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21), keeping fans on the edge of their seats. 🏐
Poland's standout performers, including opposite Magdalena Stysiak and outside hitter Martyna Czyrnianska who each scored 20 points, powered the win. Their captain Agnieszka Korneluk added 17, and middle blocker Aleksandra Gryka chipped in with 12 points.
After losing the first set, China bounced back by adjusting their lineup. Outside hitters Tang Xin and Wu Mengjie played key roles, with Zhuang Yushan leading the team with 17 points. Despite a promising start and even a 3-0 lead in the final set, China couldn’t hold on as Poland’s tactical defense and consistent execution made the difference. 🔥
Reflecting on the match, 21-year-old Tang said, "At the beginning, I felt I performed even better than I did in training. But later on, I got a bit too excited and started to lose focus." Poland's head coach Stefano Lavarini praised his team's adaptability, noting the challenges of facing a reformed Chinese lineup.
With this win, Poland improves to a 2-0 record in the leg, while China stands at 1-1. Both teams now enjoy a well-deserved rest day before returning to action over the weekend. Game on! 😎
