Poland made the difference mainly in offense, where they scored 51 points against 39 for the Czech Republic. Although the Czechs had an advantage in blocking (7:6) and serving (3:1), higher efficiency in attack and a smaller number of their own errors allowed Lavarini's team to control the score. The two teams were almost equal in terms of digs (76:74), which indicates a high level of defensive play and long rallies.
With this success, Poland continues undefeated in the tournament and solidifies its ambitions for a place among the leading teams in this year's Nations League. The Czech Republic, on the other hand, showed good moments but failed to find enough arguments against their more skilled opponent.
