Brazil vs Netherlands Women s VNL 2024

Gabby, it's not one of the most commanding serves, the back set is there and right on cue Ellis Timmerman, Ellis Dambrink, excuse me. And that was a good point to Gabby. Now here is Dambrink on serve, Roberta will send it near. Anna Christina putting some smoke. Here is Gnolema on serve this time, Roberta's got a bit of work to do with that, makes it look really easy and Carol with the finish. To play catch-up against Brazil, we're going to be spotting them a five-point gap. Coming in out of the background, flying through again is a player we've been talking about a lot already in this match, Ellis Dambrink. And a beautiful pass. There's the end result again, I mean they're making Roberta's life. Good pass, it's got to be good and it certainly is from Nova Maring, the other lefty. And she takes that on as you say. The hops. Christina with the pass, it's hanging in the air, Rosa Maria's got to deal with that and that's how you deal with it, my goodness me, the depth on that was perfect. Here in this first set, perfect pass but no winner here for Bynes on the slide. That's a block, my goodness me, was that Gnolema? Or was that Bynes next to her? A little different perhaps to bring in, it's been well handled. Whatever the plan was with the sub in server, it didn't work. Carol absolutely. And again, no pressure at all in the passing game. Gabby drops it into the corner and until it's getting a little bit better for the Dutch. Oh, that's a bit of improvisation there from Anna Christina. Anna Christina. Timmerman with serve and again, a little break down there. She's not able to attack it at all but then there's the block. Diana comes in and says, don't worry, I got this. That's the second set. It's not a serve that's doing any kind of damage at all but they do get a contained block to deny Rosamaria. That's going to come back over of Maring and then Roberta says, I want a point. Define because of how low the set is. Maring with an ace. Anna Christina rather lost the flight of that. He knew what he was doing there. Bliming with the pass, Gabby. That's a good pickup. Danbrink, Gnolema goes cross court. Does that catch? Yes. So much better. Christina in targeted again and into the block it goes again. Gnolema's saying, hey, give me that one too. Yanked. You've seen Roberta yanked. I mean, all these players know that the hook's going to come out if they don't shape up pretty quick but that's just a terrific catcher. That is just a super shot. You're going to miss it. Gabby with a good pass this time. They'll try the back row attack. Anna Christina, nothing doing. This is a tough one. Danbrink will attack. Wow. She hit in the team hotel in Arlington, Texas. Playing Germany in a few hours time. We don't want to see the Dutch on the comeback trail. One else has done well to get underneath that. The crease will send it over to Gabby. Look at where Gabby makes the connection. Beauty of a set as well. Here she is on serve. Gabby, not the most perfect and I'll tell you what, they got away with one there. Can't play it safe here. Floats it into Jasper. Wow. No winner for her. Gabby will attack from way back and that is another point on the ball for Brazil and that 10-point lead. Three points the difference now. Rosamaria. Another one. That's absolutely desperately, desperately needed. Lovely pass from Naomi. Sends back side into the block. Timmerman. McMahering right alongside her. No way through and have they come out of the other side of the storm. They get themselves to set point. Serves Gabby this time. Goes for the inside and Taissa takes that so high. Takes it so early. You know it's not coming back. Rosamaria. Executes cross-court to perfection. All about timing that one and it was. Christina. Oh that's an ace as canonymous. You call out the curse of the commentator, we bring her up. She comes up with the error. See well that got sent away. You get it slightly wrong. It's going over pass as well. Get away with it here the Dutch. Van Gaals will send it over and where is that going to go? Another overpass. Mullen will have another go at it and then get wiped out by Carroll. A stuffed block out of the top draw from Carroll. Suffocating. On the slide. Timmerman. I'm staying up here. He's not happy. Doesn't matter. Taissa can't get a winner. The net court took all the sting out of that. Maring will coming out of the back row. It's picked up. Gabby will wind one up. Very very kindly for Timmerman. Again the back row. Rosamaria says look what I got. Timmerman then at the end line. She's sent a few sneaky ones in Taissa gets the highlight reel hit. But that doesn't happen if not the end line. 15-11 now. Brazil starting to go through the gears and the ace comes in as well. As Racing rather loses the flight of this one. But Felix Kozlowski can bring in. Lovely pass. Very surprised Taissa served Jasper there. I mean everyone knows what. That was a real take cover swing there. Oh dear. In here there and everywhere. Platt will take a tough one on. Gets contained immediately. Send it to the other side. Kanonema is not going to get a winner from there. Roberta will push it up for Gabby. Who gets stuffed out of it. Bayerns reads it. Blocks it. Sends it back. And that's a big big point for the Netherlands. Keeps them in touch. Gabby to have. They're playing more consistently. You got to get these serves in play. Gabby picks that one but that pass from Gabby was just different. Completely solid block. Jasper goes there again. Taissa says are you really a 180 block. And a Christina. Dipper brilliantly picked up. I mean that's what Jasper's there for. And there's the result. I mean you'll have a nice dig. The Dutch in trouble now though. That set was a little bit too much of a stretch there for Timmerman to try and pick up. Roberta will feed Gabby. Who gets blocked out anyway. Timmerman repositions to send down the block point instead. With Jasper alongside her I think it was. He doesn't care who's. They've got to cut out the service errors now. Taissa gets contained. Good coverage. Taken by Rosamaria and a great dive from Bongaerts. Taissa contained that. Velasco head coach with Bernardi rather than Saiga. And a really good long look at Brazil here. But Taissa catches the line as well. That's when you know it's not going to be your night. Could have been anything. Trail. Trail. That was not a challenge. That's a beauty. An absolute sizzling. Taissa says give me another point. And serve this time. Platt will take the back set and run into trouble. Taissa's there. Spread it over the mound. Taissa's there again but it'll come back over. Where's this going to go? Taissa. It's like Taissa was all over the floor on that point. Timmerman with serve. Serves Naomi. Naomi will feed Ana Cristina. Big dig from Kanolama but it's too long and now we can officially say put this one in the history books. Brazil have won their sixth match in a row in this year's VNL.
