Match Report

Italy thrash rookies Portugal to catch flying start to EuroVolley campaign

Article

Portugal, ranked 22 in Europe, had a tough task to cope with in their EuroVolley debut when playing Italy, silver medal winners from last year’s World Championship.

The match lasted a little longer than an hour and Italian superstar, Paola Egonu, proved that she is currently one of the world’s finest players. The 20-year-old opposite was nearly flawless and it is only the beginning of the tournament.

The Italian team had 6-0 runs in the first minutes of the second and third sets.

Another star player, Francesca Piccinini, made her debut as the ‘voice’ of Italian broadcaster RAI at this championship.

Day 1 Recap

Play

“It was a hard match. We made many mistakes and we did not show good volleyball. Tomorrow we will play with Poland and we will give our best. We expect a difficult match, because Poland is a very demanding opponent.”

Eduarda Duarte

Italy celebrate together after a routine win

“We were excited about playing the first match at the championship, but after a few balls we started playing calm and more relaxed. We are very happy with the result of this match because we got the job done. We have a day off tomorrow. It is a long tournament with plenty of time to rest and prepare for next matches.”
