Match Report

Serbia through to quarterfinals following 3-0 victory over Romania

Article

Serbia further extended their EuroVolley winning streak with their last setback in the competition dating to the 2015 semi-final match they lost to Russia. After triumphing 3-0 over Romania, they will play Bulgaria in the quarterfinals in a repeat of a Pool A match, which ended 3-1 in Serbia's favour.

Serbia came from behind in the first set, taking the lead only at 19-18 before pulling off a 25-20 victory. As many as six out of nine Serbian blocks in the match came in the first set.

Adelina Budai-Ungureanu of Romania was the top scorer of the match with 12 points, as Mina Popovic and Brankica Mihajlovic scored 11 apiece for Serbia.

Serbia’s superstar Tijana Boskovic did not play at all, saving energy for the remainder of the tournament.

Eighth-Finals Recap

Play

Mina Popovic, player of Serbia: “We did not start as we had to and we had too many ups and downs. At the end, we still managed to win the game 3-0, which is always a good thing of course. I think the opponent was extremely good, especially at the beginning of the match. They had a very good attack and I think they prepared very well for this match. Our coach tried some players who did not play so much this far."

"How we have to prepare to play even better in the quarterfinals. We already played against Bulgaria because we were in the same group here in Ankara. We did not play against Azerbaijan this year, but whomever we play against, it is not going to be easy. It is the quarterfinals of EuroVolley, so everybody is motivated and we just want to improve the level of our performance with every match.”

“I expected my players to take on this match with a good attitude. We were very close to Serbia in all three sets. I know that not all of the starting players from Serbia were on the court but we worked very well and always kept a smile on our faces. We fought for every ball until the end. I think that this EuroVolley journey was important for the development of our team.”

Luciano Pedullà
Coach of Romania
