On Saturday evening, the Czech Republic and Slovakia locked horns again, as they did on Wednesday. Not much has changed since then, as the team under the guidance of Ioannis Athanasopoulos one more time beat their neighbours 3-1 to stay unbeaten leader of Pool B in the CEV Volleyball European Golden League 2022 - Women. Although the Czech Republic lost the opening set, they outclassed the rivals in all components, making service and block their powerful weapons.

Czech Republic and Slovakia know each other very well, so there was no surprise that the first two sets at Sport Hall for Indoor Games Karlovy Vary turned into a fierce battle that lasted 31 and 32 minutes, respectively, delivering fans electrifying rallies. In the opener, Karin Sunderlikova led the visiting team to win, scoring as many as eight points. Once the second set was a block party from both sides, the hosts scored 6 points in this element and the visitors 5. However, in the decisive moment of the set it was service to determine the score, ace from Denisa Pavlikova closed it in favour of Czechia. Then, the hosts, powered by Michaela Mlejenkova, who eventually topped the scorers chart with 18 points to her name, and Gabriela Orvosova (16 points) totally took control over the situation on the court. Sunderlikova was the best scorer in Slovakia with 17 points.
