Korea vs Poland Highlights Week 3 Women s VNL 2025

Kim Tae-in sends it on its way. Reception into Widerska, who sets it one-handed. Referee doesn't like it, and the point goes to Korea. Kim Tae-in of Hyundai Hill State sends that for the second point. First swing over on one. Oh, well dug. Great defense from Korea, but it sets Poland up for another chance. And then coming from backcourt. Tae-in. Best setter in the Korean League, three seasons in a row. Giesecka, lovely cross-court angle. Widerska, can she tidy things up or at least make Korea play? Yes, is the answer. Smarcek, off the hands, and dug, as it so often is. Sohui, straight into a big block. Lee Seon-woo, a bit more on that serve. He's forced the ball wide, Lukasik back overhead, and this will be a free ball. They couldn't take a five-point lead, could they? Oh, not yet. Great dig, Giesecka. Smarcek, tees it up again for Sohui. Giesecka with the first touch, so Szyglowska has to set. Smarcek, off the hands. There's a Korean player deep, it's in. Oh, what a dig that is. Outstanding. Giesecka, blocked, recovered. Surely this time Lukasik finishes. Great rally and an important one for Poland. 17-13, a good serve, but Widerska has options. Smarcek, paints the corner. Well, that's the shot. Korea are walking away with this first set. It's 23-17. Better touch by Lukasik, and a lovely pair of hands on that by Widerska. That's the experience of Widerska. Tung Ho-Yong, for the set. Giesecka to save it. Poland holding on just, but they're going to have a swing to take it all. This is a super swing. That's a warm-up hit. Giesecka got sold there, didn't she? Well, that's OK, but it's the middle was just stood still, didn't even get in front. Poland win this game, it is so tight down the bottom. Grieka is on for the second set, and she's going to serve first. Another good swing, but it's a great up from Grieka. She'll get it warm and ready to contribute. No stopping, that is quick again. Tung Ho-Yong. Down the line, Giesecka receives. Straight into the block, and Poland scrambling. Kintsu, Kim Tae-in. Przygłoszka, Giesecka. Not a fabulous backcourt dig, but it's overpassed. Chucked down, and Tahir's there. Korea still can't win the point. Smartek, straight down the line. Lethal. Touch, that was flying down the line. Lukasik, he's the best out of Kim Tae-in who got it airborne, but here's Giesecka. Four points in the game. A block away from completing her ABS. But not put down. Poland can't finish it either, that was Lukasik. This is Solhwi, that was Wynerska. What a touch, and a free ball. Solhwi on the angle, Przygłoszka's going to beat herself up, but didn't really stand a chance. Smarczyk's not watching. 14-16. A couple of points here, Korea on the brink of getting themselves back into it, but Lukasik has other ideas. Lukasik, sorry, her on the right and Lukasik on the left. Hoisted for Solhwi, but she can just offer up a free ball. And it's still just about in the air. I think that's a net touch by Korea that will win the point anyway, because that ball wasn't on the net. And looking forward to playing in her hometown when we go to the finals in a couple of weeks' time. Oh, great block. But you're right, he's given them license to be aggressive, he's given them license to take risks. Solhwi doesn't do it on that occasion. It's a heavy ball, but not a winning ball from Stysiak. Goodness, now that's lights out. That is a roof on top. Serving to stay in the set. Stysiak. Normal service is resumed. Poland take the second set, 25-19. Korea set up, serving first in the third set after the change of ends. Scott with the pass. Currently at Canaliana, winning just about everything and anything available. That's overpass, good block touch. Followed up by concrete boots in the defenders. Smart set with a good swing, but... If you get two defenders and they're on the same, there's a nice swing to smash it, but if you're on the same... Oh, he's realized up there next to you, he's got a look at the wall. Break time in communication, gives Poland another opportunity, and Lukasik takes it. Lukasik in right now. Well, Korea will be Lukasik of her. That, for me, is one that Piasecka could have probably got too. You watch as she comes off the net. That one just lofted to Piasecka. Jurczyk with the platform. Smart set can't finish, it was dug by Salyon. Bit too easy that for Smart set. 23-12. The block's going to drop in. Squad set. Good serve from Lukasik, level to it. Smart set. That will not be making her highlights real, will it? Sohui, 14-24. Can they finish it this time? Lukasik. Yes. It will be her to serve for Poland in the fourth set. Must-win set now for Korea. So much good work in the first, and a good start to the fourth. It is Sohui. Lukasik. A bit shorter. Swing from backcourt is really good. Yi Seong-woo again. Resets the clock with the service. Another tip does for Poland. A bit frustrating for them. Making it work as well, Ida Hyon. Staying deep and mopping up those balls until now. Rika again, she's had an excellent game. Good swing, 18-18. With Szygłowska going off, Musiak still on, so effectively Libro still on the call. That was streaky, but it does not matter. There are no pictures in the scorebook. Ida Hyon serving for the set. Piasecka, great swing. And she was the target as well, and Szygłowska came in and took that from her. Another match point then for Poland. And a big block to win it. Magdalena Jurczyk finishes the job for Poland.
