Описание: ITALY vs BRAZIL | Highlights | Women's Volleyball World Championship 2025. Italy power through to top Brazil and play for the world title. The Olympic champions triumphed in an intense five-set battle and will face Türkiye in the final!

Italy’s historic winning streak nearly came to an end on Saturday at the hands of Brazil, but the reigning Olympic champions powered through at the end and extended it to 35 matches and advanced to the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship final.

The duel between the two best-placed teams in the FIVB World Ranking took place in front of 6,000 fans at the Huamark Indoor Stadium, in Bangkok, on Saturday, and had the Europeans coming out on top 3-2 (22-25, 25-22, 28-30, 25-22, 15-13) to beat their South American rivals for the first time in World Championship history.

Italy are now set to face Türkiye in the tournament’s final, on Sunday, at 19:30 local time (12:30 GMT) - Brazil will meet Japan for third place four hours later. In the first semifinal, earlier on Saturday, the Europeans topped the Asians 3-1 (16-25, 25-17, 25-18, 27-25).

Undefeated since May 2024, the Italians will have the rare opportunity of standing out as the reigning Olympic, Volleyball Nations League and world champions at the same time. The Europeans are guaranteed their fourth medal at the World Championship, having won gold in 2002, silver in 2018 and bronze in 2022.

Subersub Ekaterina Antropova was huge for Italy, coming off the bench during the first set to replace star opposite Paola Egonu and delivering a team-high 28-point performance, with 20 kills, six blocks and two aces.

Outside hitter Myriam Sylla also came up big for the Italians, leaving the court with 21 points (19 kills, two blocks) to her name. Egonu, who came back in the tie-breaker to close the match, got to 11, with ten kills and one ace.

Brazilian star captain Gabriela ‘Gabi’ Guimarães was the match’s top scorer, with 29 points (27 kills, two blocks). Opposite Rosamaria Montibeller came next with 20 (19 kills, one ace), while middle blockers Diana Alecrim and Júlia Kudiess added 15 and 14, respectively.
