#GoldenLeagueM:

Azerbaijan vs Estonia 0-3 (14-25, 15-25, 17-25)

At the start of the match, Azerbaijan had not won a single game and was at the bottom of the standings with 0 points. Estonia was in 8th place with 2 wins and 2 losses. A ball hit out of bounds by Teppani put the home team ahead 8-4, a powerful hit by Tammearu and a serve by Viber extended the gap to 12-6, and the opponent never recovered from it. The final score of the set was 25-14 in favor of Estonia.

In the second set, the Estonians' dominance continued, outperforming their opponents in every aspect, especially in attack where they were twice as effective. The second set ended 25-15 in favor of Estonia.

In the third set, Azerbaijan managed to take the lead early on at 7-5. However, Estonia quickly neutralized this advantage, and due to an error in Azerbaijan's attack, they took the lead. After Estonia scored 3 more points, Farid Jalalov, the head coach of the Azerbaijan team, called a timeout. Unfortunately, this did not change the situation, as his players continued to lose points due to their own mistakes. The final score was 25-17 in favor of the Estonian volleyball players.

At the moment, the Azerbaijani team has not yet managed to win a single set in the Golden League, maintaining their position at the bottom of the standings. Meanwhile, Estonia still has a chance to compete for the Final Four; they need to defeat Luxembourg for this. As the organizer, Croatia has a direct ticket to the final tournament, and in addition, the top three teams in the standings qualify for the final four. If Croatia finishes in the top three, the team that finishes in fourth place will also participate in the tournament. After this victory, Estonia moved up to 6th place with 8 points.

MVP: Renee Teppan (16 points)

The Swedish team started scoring from the beginning and gradually increased their lead. The stable and attentive national team demonstrated calmness and confidence. Leading, as often happens, in the scoring was world star Isabelle "Bella" Haak.

In the second set, on the contrary, Slovakia took the initiative very convincingly. The score was 12-5 in favor of the Slovaks led by attackers Sunderlikova and Sepelova. However, the Swedish girls showed strong morale, and by the end, the teams were tied at 17-17. After this, the Swedes served an ace, played well in defense, and surged ahead 19-17. This small advantage was enough for them to finish the second set in their favor - 25-23.

Slovakia started the third set strongly, leading 4-3. However, this minimal advantage was immediately neutralized by Isabelle Haak, who then served a difficult serve that quickly returned to the Swedish side of the court, followed by a swift attack making the score 5-4. In this crucial third set, both teams demonstrated quality play and nerves. The very loud home crowd tried to support their players throughout the game, but the Swedish girls remained a few points ahead throughout the set. They again won the set and the match with a score of 3-0.

After the league round, the top three teams, excluding the Czech Republic, qualify for the Final Four, which will take place on the weekend of June 15-16. The Czech Republic, as the organizer, is automatically qualified for the final weekend.
