Italy 🇮🇹 vs. Germany 🇩🇪 - Highlights | Women's World Championships 2025

It's Germany in the red and black receiving. It's a round of 16 match here in Bangkok at the Women's World Championship Thailand 2025. And there is a break point opportunity here. Silla, what a swing, but what a dig. However, Dainese paying attention on the follow-up. They're racking up. Good ball in there from Nathanie. Silla gets another swing. Interestingly from the Italian players perspective. Ribero into an uncomfortable spot. Last pass serve is a good one. This has to go wide. They're tripling up on Silla. It's going to stay in play. Free ball Germany. That is wonderful play. They have the lead. Interesting to see three blockers on German side from their perspective. Probably could have let that go out if it's over your head and you're in front court. Silla says, I got this. Excellent swing from Silla. Doesn't get, so she has less of an opportunity to make an approach. Dynamic swing, but it's really good block touches. And look at that. It couldn't have been placed any better. Germany even made the adjustment, right? They pushed Ortmann up. They had Alzheimer take the first ball. Set point Italy. There might have been some hair touching the net for Germany, which doesn't count as a net touch. And they are able to make the side out. An outside hitter, so on to pass. Across the back row. Well, that is a lovely block from Germany and they save another set point. That's a huge block. Czech and I can see it. Good save out of the net. Free ball Germany. Moki's got it, but it's not going to come back and another set point saved. 22-24. Side out would be good. They still got two opportunities to get it done. That is a very easy serve. That should get it done. And it does. Navini works the hands. Italy take the opening set 25-22. Good touch. But it won't come back into play. Very good start. Now, 2-0 lead. Can he be making steps to get there? There, just turn it back line. Huge. Alzmaier finds a gap. Igonu apologizes. Thinking perhaps she should have shut it down. Yeah, maybe left a little too much line on her. There's a lot of space there. And even if she's trying to. That's not a great ball. That is a world-class swing. Even when she looks uncomfortable. Igonu. Found that ball a little bit in. Osterdam Danesi coming in short and quick. Works well when they do it well. So it starts with their their serve receive and then pressure from the serving line for them, doesn't it? Because the rest of their game flows really well when they're. Lovely touch from Moki. Just takes all right. But Naveen is having a bit of a struggle at the minute through 4. Lovely to see. Julio Velasco is having a quiet chat with Naveen. Wants her to just. Be ready to come back home and play again. A thrill of frustration. Good up. That wasn't easy. Because that ball came off the block. And that is a fantastic swing from Lina Alzmaier. Decent ball. Little bit low though. Too many players going in to play it. And then hesitation. Oro with the serve. That's a great pick up. Wow. You can't teach height. It is set point for Italy. Little bit of a hustle on that one. Went quicker with the ball out wide. Germany equal to it. Germany looking to stay in the set. Italy not that keen to let it carry on. Another quicker ball out wide. And it is dispatched by Silla. Italy take the set. 25-18. They lead Germany by two sets to nothing. No, only when I'm playing golf. Nice commit block from Danesi. Germany get to have a go through the outside. And that is a shut down from Danesi. Navini. Enough on that. From Navini. She's not had a lot to do actually. Not this time. Nicely done that. Really good play. That doesn't happen quite as much on this Milano side. Those miscommunications. You see, exactly on this Milano side. Oh, excuse me. There you go. Case in point. They can't get the point there, but maybe can build on it. Ace serve. That's a good swing. Try mate. Oro to serve. That's a huge hit. Timmer did well to keep it from hitting the floor. But that was some... He hit the floor. This one's hit the floor too. They're going after Timmer exclusively at the moment. Lovely set. Has that hit the floor? Yes, it has. And Gregory says, no, it hasn't. I'm challenging that. Did we get... Did they give that as a replay? I didn't see the referee make a replay sign. 19-6 says they didn't. 9-20. It's now 21-9. Naces serve. Good serve. Goodness me. That is just a massive block. It was close to being reaching over. That wasn't a great set from Oro. And Germany take the point. That connection has to be so precise. In terms of speed and height with the middle. Chase from Oro. Naveeni. Well played. Continues on the angle. She was... It's a bit tight, that. Happened to go over the block. Lost a bit of power. Here comes Antropova. Who does go over the block. And it's now match point for Italy. A swing chance. But it's Fah who gets shut down. Fah does it. Back to the middle they go. It's a 25-11. Germany 3-0. And Italy move to the quarterfinals.
