The Swedish women's volleyball team is playing in the final of the Golden League – after a thriller against Belgium.
World star Isabelle Haak scored the match-winning point, giving them a 15–12 win in the deciding set and a 3–2 victory.
In the final on Sunday, they will face the Czech Republic.
Sweden was the last team to qualify for the final in Ostrava, Czech Republic, and faced favourites Belgium.
The two nations had already met in the group stage. Back then, Belgium won, but Sweden was without Isabelle Haak. With her on the team, it's a different story – and Sweden got their sweet revenge.
Belgium took the first set without much trouble, 25–16. At that point, a Swedish final spot seemed unlikely just a few hours later.
Sweden lifted their game in the second set and won it 25–22, thanks to stronger serves and sharper offensive play.
And when Haak smashed home the winner in the third set, Sweden had turned the match around.
Belgium secured the fourth set with the same score. This set the stage for a thrilling, deciding set in the battle for a final spot.
At 14–11, Sweden had match point, but the serve went into the net. Instead, Haak immediately scored the winning point to take it 15–12.
We started a bit stiff and didn't get much going in serve reception. It got a bit shaky and we made too many mistakes, while Belgium came out strong from the first ball. It took us some time to get going, but the nerves wore off and we shifted gears and just went for it, says Alexandra Lazic to SVT.
With this win, the national team has qualified for the European Championship.
In the other semi-final, host nation the Czech Republic defeated Romania 3–1 in sets.
