Volleyball players reach the Nations League quarter-finals despite defeat
9.45 pm: Dutch volleyball men can play in the Nations League quarter-finals later this month. The Orange team missed the chance to qualify under their own power due to the 3-0 defeat to Italy on Sunday.

National team coach Roberto Piazza started against Italy with Wiesel Kemenck (playmaker), Nimr Abdelaziz (Qatari), Tess ter Horst, Benny Twynstra (runner/runner), Luc van der Ent, Tuan Wiltenberg (centre) and Robert Andringa (Libero). The Netherlands played well with the European champions, but made a lot of defensive mistakes. Italy succeeded with tactical balls. Alessandro Micheletto used the set point for the Italians in the first set.
Orange started to play better and a victory in the second set was within reach. Playmaker Keemink gave all of his attackers a chance, but no one was able to make a recovery point. Italy got six points in a row and won the second set. In the third set, the Piazza team managed to advance to 12-11, after which the Italians cut a final distance.
This is the first time since 2002 that Dutch men have reached the final round at the highest level, initially called the World League and now the Nations League.
