Japan 🇯🇵 vs Argentian 🇦🇷 _ HIighlights _ Men s VNL 2025.

And it's Pukartsev's swing. A little bit off balance, but Japan pick up the points. Run. Amor receives. Pukartsev can't find the floor. Sticky start for him and run. Nothing sticky about that. Through on the pipe. Onodera picked up seven points on his return to action yesterday, all from attacks. Nice to the middle. Musky Oya. Pukartsev makes the line his own. For fans of French volleyball or even Champions League will have seen. Check the floor for Dent. That was large. That was very large. That's a training hit. That's when you're doing warm-ups. So good points on serve and for Zerba. Ishikawa. Run. Oh, what a block. That is incredibly high level middle blocking. Incredibly high level middle blocker. Break point Argentina. Miyaura can only find hands. Any aces but created opportunities to win points. No points there though for Japan because Loza. Oh my goodness me. Both middles. Brings the best out of Polonsky. Oh my goodness me. Manuel Alvara is on fire. Serving to stay in the set. The crowd like it. So float serve but a good ball in and a brilliant way to finish a brilliant set. Manuel Alvara justifying his selection. Deep into playoffs in the Italian League. A lot of volleyball. Second set Polonsky gets us underway. Miyaura. Oh, what a block. The only man to get an ace in the game so far. Ishikawa. Well played. Good side out here. So generally going to be focused on the left side. Here's the swing to win the set. Oh, it's sensational. Ride your luck. There will be a challenge coming. Right, Japan must win set territory. Motoki Iroh is in at setter and he's going to serve first into the net. Ishikawa. Good block. That's down. Sako's got him. He knows he's in front of the business end. Yuki. Oh, Gajego. Iroh. Loser. Never really on top of that one and that's probably an opportunity to give the 7341 Japanese volleyball fans a little bit more volleyball. First swing. Touches there. Japan has somehow got the opportunity and it's an opportunity that Sato puts away. This will be a challenge in a moment. This might end up being simultaneous contact. Yeah. So yes, where are the Japanese hands? Who gets it first? 24-20. Polonsky. Good touch. A lot of work to do though. Tomita with the dig. Run. Ishikawa. One set point saved with another excellent block. Argentina serving first in the fourth set. That could effectively. Polonsky. Helped over by Sanchez. From backcourt. Hands over on one. Good first touch by Loser. Polonsky. Somebody's gonna have to get a foot on it. And Polonsky. Well, come on man. Overcooked. Not put away. Big let off for Japan. Big let off for Japan. Run. Off the hands. Announcement for the venue. After block touch from Japan, another player who was very near to the net touched the ball and after that you had three more contacts. So it was four touch point for Argentina. Still a break point lead for Japan. Not a great touch by Almoa. Challenge coming for a net touch. Watts wobbled it. Is it on Adira's leg? Yes. Off the net. Ogawa can feed it in. Oh, Gajego. Says Gaje no to Ishikawa. Japan in a great spot again. Argentina with it all to do. Can't finish it. Polonsky. They're possibly done there. Sato took a push in the back from Eiro but it doesn't bother Ishikawa one bit. They haven't spotted and I thought we're going to see this pretty quickly aren't we? On Adira. Sorry, not on Adira. Sato catches his fingers. Eiro. Polonsky close to the net. Incredible up by Eiro. Oh it's off the boots. Still in the air. Another chance for Japan though. Oh my goodness. What have we just witnessed? Argentina six points away from a magnificent victory. Did that one come from? The break point has gone for Argentina. Masato Kai to keep up his 100% record. Oh nearly. Polonsky does well. Vicentin. They pulled the hands. Run. Takes a bit off it. Polonsky feeds it in. Oh Mo up as well. Maybe a whack. Maybe a thwack. But it's still set point Japan. Decent serve. Eiro has to work. Miyaora. We're going five. Kento Miyaora delivers. Argentina looking to keep their finals dream alive. And Rang making the first pass of the decider. Not great from Japan. Polonsky wins the point. Point on serve for Argentina. I'm fairly sure there'll be at least one team who get seven and five and doesn't get there. Which is crazy. Onodera. Good reception. Oh Mo up. Good touch. Run. So Tomita starting the fifth set. Tomita. Polonsky. Great touch by Eiro. Tomita sends it out to run. Has he found a touch? Has he found? No. Is there a touch? There is not a touch. There is not a touch. Mastukai. Another good serve. Oh well saved. Is there a touch on that? Loser says yes. The referee says no. They have to challenge. So there is a touch. Is a counter challenge coming in? No. Takahashi Ran. So much swirling around the head here of Bruno Lima. Cannot make a service error. But he does. He does. And that sums up the end of this game. Huge character show by Japan. They have dug in for another 3-2.
