    Match Report

    Belgium with a comeback for a first victory

    Article
    In the second match of the day in Pool A, Belgium delivered a comeback after losing the first set vs Latvia, and eventually became winner of the match seizing a 3-1 victory. The Red Dragons dominated on the net (4-11 successful point winning blocks of Latvia compared to Belgium) and after the wake-up call from the first set, managed to control the game in the decisive moments. Jolan Cox was shining for the winner's team becoming best attacker as the overall performance of Belgium in this component was 54% efficiency on the winning spikes.
    - Latvia started very well in the match with 18 winning spikes. Kristaps Šmits was top performing on the attack, and supported by his teammates, helped the most for his Latvia to open the match. 
    - Belgium reacted quickly and with nine winning spikes in the beginning of the second set, with Sam Deroo and Kobe Brems contributing the most in these moments, took control of the game. Jolan Cox also shined in decisive moments both on serve and on the spiking, and Belgium finished this part storming on attack (17) making it difficult for Latvia's reception.
    - The problems for the team led by head coach Avo Keel continued in the next set. Deroo and Cox continued on disturbing Latvia's reception and with 59% efficiency on attack, the Red Dragons took the lead. The good performance on the block (4) also paid off. 
    - Latvia stood better in the fourth set starting a cat-and-mouse game in the score with Belgium. Showing equal skill on this component, it was the stronger play on the net with another 4 blocks by Belgium, that became the key to the success.
    - Belgium's Deroo became top scorer with 20 points to his name, while Cox added 14 becoming best attacker. Lennert Van Elsen was the man of the match on the block, recording 6 and helping this way his team to emerge victorious.

     

    “We made some bad decisions in the second and in the third sets. We had bad moments and the outside-hitters of Belgium showed their good level. But overall I´m not dissapointed – some of my players showed good Volleyball, they all worked hard. I am not sad and look forward to the next matches.”
    Avo Keel, head coach of Latvia
    “We started bad and had to find our rhythm and could not put pressure on service. For many younger guys on our team it was the first official game for the national team, so they were a little bit nervous and rusty. And Latvia took some risk in the service at the beginning. But I like how our young guys played and I enjoy being here to support them.”
    Sam Deroo, outside-hitter of Belgium
