Japan 🇯🇵 vs. Poland 🇵🇱 – Quarter Final | Highlights | Men’s VNL 2025

It’s Poland in their traditional green serving. Japan in red receiving. It is the last quarterfinal of the men’s volleyball Nations League 2025 here in Ningbo. And it is a emphatic sidak start for Miora. Yeah, but he does at times have a little a little bit of an issue just going back to that nice swing Mora. He can get caught out a little bit away from the rest of the team passing to his left side. He can get isolated a little bit and also the reception group that Poland have right now with here comes up going after Leon but he’s dealt with that and he’s dealt with that. Oh my days. There’s some questions at the end of his time in Italy with the threat of gone. Was he starting to feel the wear and tear of such a career? Interesting serve. And the corrector comes in and tidies it all up. Oh, that’s a good serve as well. He’s taken for now out of the pipe. Doesn’t matter though. Konowski. He is such a good technician. Ishikawa with the serve. Oh, that had heat. That had heat. So does that. Oh, goodness me. A massive collision. And the ball’s still in play. Not anymore. More now finishes there. It’s probably a phrase we’ll say more than once. Oh, goodness me. This defense. Great determination on defense. Amazingly, no s. That is a great touch in the block. Quite close. Mora has got work to do. He’s done it. Okay. All set from Ishikawa. Oh, you’re kidding. What a point for Japan. They’re up by four. Another time out Poland and almost an exact replay of earlier on was the recycle recover play against Cornell’s side of the court. Long ball set towards momentum was left again or he stays this time. Ishikawa has to take that one. Oh dear. Ishikawa watching. Goodness me. That’s unusual. Cornell such a good blocker this long ball goal set he’s making that move Kotonoski I should say it’s not an over but Agawa deals with that oh Miora that makes him so difficult to stop doesn’t it as a lefty on that right side with the the angles he can produce it’s Miora to serve oh goodness me that is such a good Pass from Papivak as that caught the net. But there’s a breakpoint opportunity here for Japan. Ran no good block is fantastic for Poland back takes the credit for that one. Job from the young man. Good ball. Agawa still not quite got that fast ball out wide right for his players, but that’s okay. Miora can tidy up. Another ball down the line from Miora. So adjustment needs to be made from Poland what they’re doing with him particularly from this second line. 2019 Japan up by one. [Applause] Poland. Another chance. Lay on. Oh say lay on. What an angle she cow. Did not see that coming. I don’t even have words. I’ve just got sounds. Yeah. I think he should and Tommy to level up this set. That’ll be and it is Poland who take the opening set. Poland leading one set to nothing and by one point to nothing on Aadera. [Applause] Oh, he’s got another ace. That’s his second of the match. And that’s probably his best so far. Again, Agawa is trying to squeeze across. Ran wants to play. Give that a little bit extra, but the net took it away. But that was all right though. Ran finds the space. Japan have the point. They’re back to within a couple. Mender leaves early. Opens up the middle of the court. Commander only to say he’s serving. He’s been doing such a good job of just distributing the ball and letting the players take all the glory. Delicacy from Ishiawa. [Applause] That’s too easy. That’s too easy. Oh, good save for now. Free ball now. Japan. [Applause] They get their point. They’re back to within one. Oh, he’s got him. Iro shuts down Leon. It’s 16 all. Two in a row for Iro against Leon. Iro’s bringing his own pyro here. [Applause] Great pick up [Applause] and again from Forna. Unbelievable [Applause] pipe. How is this still going? Check again. It’s going to be free ball Japan. Too fast, but it will work. Sass with the serve. That’s a good ball. Lots of options for Japan. Miora has got to be one of them. And it is. Recognized setter on the court for Japan. Decent ball. Magnificent block. Fantastic choice by Sato. No back cannot get the answer. We’re locked in. 24 all. First to get two clear. Takes the set. Nishimoto. Another one at four now. Zasac’s not going to miss that. Not going to miss that. Tactical serve. It’s a little bit behind Ishiawa and the block is magnificent. 262 24 set number three Poland up two sets to nothing in the last of the quarterfinals here of this Men’s Volleyball Nations League 2025. And it is a breakpoint start for Poland. [Applause] Japan are finding it really difficult to do that. those plays onto the block and out and that generate any break point on his serve. That’s a great set. A great pass and a little bit of confusion for Japan. Commander continuation block from Novak. Good up Commander. [Applause] Great timing. Net touch by Japan. It is not looking great for them. Lovely pass. Is that coming back? No, it is not. [Applause] Easy for now. Oh, I can’t get there. Let’s just say okay now then I think looking for contact beyond the net ball back to serve needing to find a break point for Japan or three five oh he’s got one. What a serve. Four more to get. Good serve. Good pass. stable set but another unbelievable block. Go not required. Double substitution will finally make coming in. Good push. That is some pick up. St pick up from a Oh my goodness me. That nearly hit the floor. Free ball now Poland. That will do nicely. Nishimoto gets one back. He’s not giving up lightly. He is not looking at the scoreboard at all. He is celebrating. 22 plays 11. Onski ran knows what’s the what’s going on here. That’s a good pass from Samita. That’s a lovely serve as well. Well played. That’s really difficult to get that ball back into play and Japan have the point. OA gets the point. Poland and now two away from victory. This has to go wide. Oh, good touch. Novak worth a swing and it’s paid off. 2512 Poland take the set. They have beaten Japan by three sets to nothing. Poland are through to the semifinals.

  1. Japan lost the weapon of speed in this game, and the coordination of defense was not shown. If it did not give full play to the original style, it would be difficult to compete with Poland's traditional strong team

  2. This is not an individual game but a team game so you can't blame one person, Please🙏 beside, Poland block is too crazy😅 and japan too many error serve.. i hope japan block can be better 🔥 ganbaree nippon

  3. The setter of the Japanese team is so predictable and it seems they are missing the ball and point for purpose 😔
    Disappointed with Team Japan 😢

  4. Geçen sene kıl payı japonya 'nın kaybetmesinden sonra bu sene gerçekten onların kazanmasını izliyordum. Kadroda nishida ve sekita olmadığını öğrenince üzüldüm fakat yinede sağlıkları herşeyden daha önemli. İçimde yine de bir umut vardı fakat Polonya aşırı güçlü bir takım. Eşleşmeleri görünce yarı finale gelmeden eleneceklerini düşündüm ve öyle de oldu fakat yine de 3-0 beklemiyordum ve birde ishikawa'nın performansına inanıyordum. Umarım seneye güzel bir geri dönüş yaparlar ve geçen sene kıl payı kaçan şampiyonluğu kazanırlar. Artık Polonya 'yı destekliyorum umarım onlar kazanır. Semeniuk fighting!!!

  5. 決勝ラウンドでこの出来ではさすがに擁護できない。第3セットのボロボロっぷりは何なんだ?こんなんじゃ応援できないぞ。

  6. Holy sh** Fornal would be star player with just his attack and block but he adds so much extra dirty work, extraordinary defense on 9m line and pissing off his opponents 😀

  7. By July 2025, the men's national volleyball teams of Poland and Japan had played approximately 30 official matches, with Poland winning 26 times and Japan securing 4 victories 😶‍🌫️
