Japan 🇯🇵 vs. Korea 🇰🇷 - Semi Final | FIVB - Asian Continental Championships - Men

Serving against Japan in the white with black shorts for their second semi-final of the ABC Men's Volleyball Continental Fukuoka 2026 and it is a break point start for Korea. Ball in. Takes Ho-Soo Boong out of the attack. Good cover. Another stable set out wide from Nishida to work the block. Ohmi to serve again. Over free ball three front row attackers Ishikawa on five. Here he comes. There it goes. It's another point for Japan. Nishida. Good work. Good save. That's so good. Cha Young Seok to serve. That's a huge serve. Now ran straight in and set up. Nishikawa does his job. Break point. Nishida gets to serve again. Oh he's only gone and done it. Oh what a serve. Ho-Soo Boong serves again. Another big serve but Miura somehow has controlled himself enough to come up with the point. Good serve. Free ball coming. Ishikawa stepping in as the setter and look at that. Nishida delivers its set point for Japan. They can do no wrong right now. That will do it. That will do it. Japan leading Korea by one set to nothing. Goodness me. That is. Did someone just press the fast forward button on that play? Oh yes. What a serve from Takahashi Ran. That's a block for Korea. Mr. Good side out. Starting to shout his name really politely. Oh that's nice. The speed of that set was a joy to watch. Larry gets to serve again. It's worth a swing. Oh what a pick up. What a block. Buketsu is just absolutely shut down in Cha Young. Adaira shuts the door. Oh he's still serving. Oh pulling a little bit of extra into that one. Touch. Oh yes. The interplay. The interchange of players. Really good pick up from Pak Kyung Min. Where the block's just too good at the moment for Japan. Goodness me. What a dig. The touch in the block and now in system. Here comes Japan. On Adaira. Incredible defense from Ran. Well played. Keeping it in play. He's gonna make sure of it. Love it. Oh yes. Oh yeah. Tom Meeks is getting in on the ace action. This is just a touch. On the tight side. There goes the set. 25-11. Away we go. Set number three. Korea with the serve. Japan on side out. Japan leading by two sets to nothing. A little bit high. Oh and it will be a great point start for Korea. Good serve from on Adaira. Free ball. Larry. This is just amazing. Just waiting to see who's going to get that ball then. No clue until it left. Hold his hands. Good touch. Larry's available. Just draws enough of a gap so that Ishikawa can score. Yamamoto. And would you believe it. Of course you would. Ishikawa scores again. Chong Hanyong. Very good set from Bukatsu. Good serve. Korea not ready for the ball coming over and it's cost them the point. The touch. Double touch. No catch ball and credit Japan. They just got on and play. Bukatsu's nearly sat on the floor. Ace serve on Adaira. Can't find the winning swing. Adaira's just worn that one on the shoulder. It's an ace serve. That will bring up match point. Korea trying to stay in it but it's been dug. Miura. What a pickup. That's too tight. Another chance for Japan. Tomita has done it. It's all over. Japan have won it and they have won it in style. 13-11-14.
