It is just one big, big hit up. Good touches, well played. That's just about all that Yu Yuntai could do to try to hit the winner. Korea have hit the winner. Korea knew that was coming. Big old block. All square. The block's having none of it. They're reading this like a book at the moment. Huge serve. Korea off the net, have to go wide and the block has done its job. This is very impressive from China. They take the opening set 25-17. Away we go with set number two. China serving and leading Korea by one set to nothing. Good swing, good start for Im Sung-gil. Patient to want to follow Korea. You get put through the ringer. Well done. This is a good rally. It's going to require a good solution and that was it. Interesting passing position. Enough power on that. Great pass. What a dig that is. Amazing. Pak Kyung-min. It's China who have got another opportunity. Denied. Big block Korea and suddenly they pulled level. That's the block time. Just looking at the shoulder of Lee Jong-shin. That cupping. Customs don't like that. A serve. Yes it is. On the tight side. It's looking like Korea are going to level up this match. It's going to go high and hard and handsome and it's set point. Straight through the middle Korea take the set. 25-21 is one all. Great work by Korea. Away we go. Set number three. Korea with the serve. It's one set all in this quarterfinal. A good side out from Paek Si-kyung. Stay in play. Swing chance. So good. Just the right place to put it. Three blockers have gone up. That means the defense does have to shift around because China trying it. Oh my goodness me. That is an absolute monster block from Choi Yong-seok. He might have just turned around and went. That hurt a little bit. Paek Si-kyung has wailed on this ball. Yeah. Paek Si-kyung is going to stay in play. Taken care of. Set really really well. Wends you up. Great ball in. Another chance. Four players moving. Oh yes that was hit. Dispatched. Huge swing from Ho Soo-bong. Right on the limits of being an attacking ball. Trying to stay in the set. Korea trying to make it not happen. And they're going to have a chance here. But it's going to be free ball. And Paek Si-kyung keeps them in the set for the moment. There's nothing quite like having to do it in the match. They've just been given it. Korea take the set. 25-22. They now lead China by two sets to one. The way we go. Set number four. China's serving. Korea leading by two sets to one. Nice deep coverage. That's really good. Just give them back to Korea. And they make sure the point is done really well. Solid. That is an absolute monstrous block. That is huge. Best feeling ever. This has become a hitting contest now. That's ridiculous. The last couple of swings. It has been. Worst tempo from off the net now. Three attacking options for Korea. As well as a backcourt option. Oh yes. That should have been. That should have gone to spike time for Korea. And out of nowhere. An absolute monster block has come in. Oh it's free ball. Korea. Here's a chance. What a time to make that block. The Chinese block was in total disarray. Except for Wen Ji-hwa. And he has got a big spread. That's a spread and a half. He spread himself and take it. Drop one short. Catch the Chinese passing unit by surprise. Just an easy one. And that is in. That is such a good swing. Gonna get it out wide. Chance to run the middle here. Oh they've gone to bin. It's been touched. There's a swing chance. Can they take it? What a block for China. What a save. That was the moment. Can they side out their way out of it? No is the answer. There'll be a challenge for block touch. But Korea think they've won it. Korea think they are through to the semi-finals. Here's the look. No one's close to it at the moment. Still nobody's close to it. No one's touching it. Still no touch. No touch. The feet haven't touched it. The ball's on its way out. No one's touching it. They're on their way down. And Korea through to the semi-finals. Let the celebrations begin.
