Davide Mazzanti's players controlled the game from the very beginning as they were effective in attack. The favorites added ten points from the service area and eight from blocks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the opening set, the best team of the 2021 Women's European Volleyball Championship showed their strength as they allowed their rivals to score just 15 points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Colombia, coached by Brazil's Antonio Rizola Neto, tried to level the result, but they were not able to surprise Italy, who won two consecutive sets by the same 25-20 scoreline to close the game out in three sets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the evening match, Thailand produced a huge surprise as they beat tournament hosts Poland in a five-set thriller, 25-18, 7-25, 25-22, 23-25, 15-12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Outside hitter Ajcharaporn Kongyot turned out to be the hero for Thailand with 22 points. Magdalena Stysiak earned 25 points for Stefano Lavarini's team, but the 22-year-old missed the target in a crucial moment, which killed Poland's hopes of victory. In the crucial phase of the last set, Thailand scored four points in a row to win the tie-break 15-12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In Pool C of the Olympic qualifying tournament, Italy stayed on top with a perfect record of four victories, just like the United States, who beat South Korea 3-1 (20-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-17) in Lodz on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
