Estonia won the opening game 25:20, the second game 25:19 and the third set 25:18. The teams played an additional game, where Estonia played the role of chaser, but the team eventually was able to take a 27:25 victory in that set, as well.

Estonia will face Spain three times with another training match on Friday and an official friendly match on Saturday.

Estonian national volleyball team head coach Cedric Enard said the team has to be better at returns, but they found a solution against Spain. "The attack with Oliver [Venno] and the two outside hitters was very good. We served well. We did not have many aces, but we had diverse sets. The blocks were also good," Enard said.

The Frenchman praised the Estonian audience ahead of the European volleyball championship, which will see its Pool D matches hosted by Saku Suurhall in Tallinn. Estonia will start the tournament with a match against Latvia at 7 p.m. on September 1. Tickets are available here.
