=====================================================
| Nanjing, China, July 6, 2019 – Brazil had an overwhelming straight-set (25-23, 25-15, 25-10) win against last year’s runners’ up Turkey in the semifinals of the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Nations League on Saturday. After losing both of their encounters with Turkey at the VNL, the South American squad finally put a stop to their winless run with an upward trending performance and reach the finale for the first time.

Natalia Pereira’s attack rampage led the way for the Brazilians to snatch the win in tight contest in the opening set. In the next two frames, Brazil’s performance got better and better, while their opponents gave away many points as they suffered from many unforced errors.

Natalia topped all scorers with 15 points, then the rest of the starting unit contributed to the onslaught. Lorenne Geraldo Teixeira and Mara Ferreira Leao scored nine and eight points, respectively, while Gabi Guimaraes and Ana Beatriz Correa had seven points apiece. The Brazilians contained the Turkish spikers, including Ebrar Karakurt, who only managed to record 10 markers.
