These days the pre-Olympic women’s volleyball tournament in which our country is taking part is taking place. In fact, on the morning of this Sunday, September 17, Antonio Rizola’s team faced the German team in a Group C match.
And after the complicated debut against the USA, the Colombian team was faced with the task of making their game more fluid in order to gain confidence and improve their sporting performance.
For this reason, Colombia had the intention of enforcing conditions and proved this in the first set, which was ultimately won 25-23.
But the European team responded and the second set was in their hands after they defeated the national team 28:26.
From then on, the Germans dominated, winning the third set (25:19) and then closing the game with an overwhelming 25:14 in the final set.
With this result, Germany remains unbeaten, while our country suffered its second defeat in this sporting event, which ends on September 24th.
