Women's volleyball: FC Porto win at Luz, take it to game 5 | OneFootball

In a match that started in a similar way to Wednesday’s, with the blue-and-whites taking a 0-2 lead in sets (15-25 and 24-26) and the reds leveling it at 2-2 (25-17 and 25-23), forcing the match into a deciding set, this time Miguel Coelho’s side managed what they had not yet achieved in this semi-final: winning the fifth and final set.

With Kelsey Veltman and Mika Grbavica standing out, FC Porto closed out the final set at 10-15. In that set alone, the middle blocker scored four points and the opposite hitter six. Overall, the Canadian finished as the top scorer with 21 points (14 attacks and seven blocks), the same as Benfica’s Mayara Barcelos (20 attacks and one block), while the Croatian added 15 (13 attacks and two blocks). It is also worth noting that she started only in the fifth set and ended the match with a 62 percent attack efficiency rate, a performance worthy of praise.
