Slovenia 🇸🇮 vs Türkiye 🇹🇷 | Quarter Final Highlights | Men's VNL 2026

Here we go, Slovenia on the left side of your screen in the green, and Turkey on the right side in the red, and the first point comes off the hands of the Gunca. Good serve, good ball in, oh, little gator from the back. Tip is sent right back, and Slovenia go again, Mozic going over the top of the block. Fantastically aggressive set from Vunicic, really pushes that ball close to the net, allows Rok Mozic to use his athleticism to go high. Similarly, he's going for the Turkish set at Unip. Unipazar again, a little floaty this time, tight to the net, chance for the overload in front, Rok Mozic, give him a one-on-one all day long. Shot, and that is just on the line, Slovenia arguing we didn't touch it, doesn't matter, tag the line. Great response from Mozic. Only pull that one out every so often. X-foot block. He handles that, he's the serving target. Mljanovic becomes the setting target. Into the hands, that's a great recycle play for Slovenia, going again, it's tighter. Setter out of the option for Turkje. Three blockers up, what a dig. Good point for Slovenia, stand up. Turkje back within one. They get Mozic on the floor, that's a good sign, but there are so many more options if one is gone. It's just bringing that sense of calm to the court, doesn't have to do as much, but Tumar does plenty for his team today. Great speed, great out. The Lugumja on the outside, completely free net for him. Kozimeric takes the first, great ball in. Mljanovic doesn't find the floor. Hand to there, chance again. The tip this time, Mozic on the ground. Mljanovic finds a way through. First set point, Slovenia, can they put it away? What does Turkje have more to the story? Great coverage, option, Mljanovic. The block and first time of asking, the point goes Slovenia and they take the set. They got burned a couple of times on this spot. These touches where things slow down, they were organized enough that they've got two really strong attackers on both edges that can feed Mozic and Mljanovic. And we are underway with set number two. Slovenia, the aggressors from the first go. Spreads out across the net. Time for Mljanovic to have a set. Mljanovic takes some speed off it and that's one of the reasons he's so good, court awareness. And he's not afraid to throw in off-speed shots, really trusts his hand control on the ball. A lot of hitters here would try and find the deep. Slovenia, put it away. That's a good serve. But Lakumsa, he's been available pretty much every time Turkje has asked him. And Turkje, a shift to their favorite. Soft ball and that is so solid, that swing. Sixth set point. Oh, is it an ace? No, it's coming back. This is a chance for Slovenia. Free ball to the middle. Off the hands, that's covered. Chance again, Mljanovic. Still in play. Tussle of the night. Monster block for Turkje. What a huge play in that moment for Turkje. They had to find some way to stay in this point. Some scramble, some way to get this set back into a situation where they find some way to stay in this point. Some scramble, some way to get this set back into a situation where they are in the ascendancy. Off the hands. Turkje with a chance to convert a point. Not yet. Good blocking by Slovenia. Artemovic who unloads down the line. All in play. Oh, that's a good recycle chance here. Defense to offense. No, it's dominant at the net. Statistically speaking. Set point. Good defense. This is a chance. Turkje, do they convert? Quick ball, middle. Of course they do. Two batters so high and deep. That was this year, wasn't it? It was a long one. It was. Slovenia for the 10th time. Trying to close it out. Simple serve. Handled well. That comes through the middle. And of course. Mocic. Oh, that's a great connection. You mentioned it already, Stankov. How well. Leonovic back at the line. Set point for the 11th time. Turkje keeps themselves in play as does Urnaut. Turkje, I think there might've been a throw there. Was there a touch? No, the point is given Slovenia's way. There has to be a challenge coming for whether this ball has touched the net at all from Turkje. You have to take the risk right now. Third set underway. Slovenia now on the right side. Turkje with a response to make. And they get something going early. Block is good. Slovenia starting off strong in this third set. Slovenia do have to be on their toes because Turkje have shown their ability to come back. Zmanek. Urnaut with a D. Back to Mojanovic. He's recycled. Chance again. This time flinging it out to Mocic. She's got three blockers. See the Turkje side needed. Urnaut rolls it in. Tip comes back. Chance for Mocic. He rolls it back the other way. Lagumsa. It's roll for roll and pancake time. Mocic making sure his teammates get out. Set point Turkje. Can they hold on? No. Mocic with a clear head. Ball in play. Free. They do not want to leave this to the fates. Oh, is it an A serve? Turkje have to stay level headed. Lagumsa. Off the hands. Swing. Mocic. Over and Turkje have questions. That is Lagumsa. Match point number three. Connection. Turkje find themselves with their 10th chance to close this set. Mocic says that's not going to be the one. Not today. Who keeps their wits about them? It's a tight ball. Oh, that is so good. Mocic into the hands. Chance again. Three blockers up. Tip. Whistle blown. Slovenia with a solid serve. Oh, and a play. Mocic. And he gets under. Back on Turkje. Match point Slovenia. Handled. To the outside. Block. And it's not coming back to the bitter end to win this match in three. It was the one serve that's.
