This is One of the Most Dramatic Comebacks in Volleyball History !!!

Good pass this time. And side-out achieved. Find the gap in the block. The USA are very likely to win this first set, but that's important for Bulgaria, because they've got to get that man, number 23, going. Nikolaev, Alex Nikolaev anyway, has been a little bit quiet in this opener. Oh, that's not quiet though. No. That says more than anything that can come out of his mouth. A screaming ace serve from Nikolaev. Oh, challenge for a footfall. It was close. I don't think they're going to get it, but it was close. It just means Nikolaev has to wait a little bit longer. You set point up, you don't want him to get... Lovely pass. What a pick-up from Alex. Well played, Champlin. Still going. Another chance Bulgaria. Nikolaev. Oh, Champlin. Bulgaria try again. Shoji says no. Now Ewan. Oh, I think he played off his elbow. Kilos. Champlin. Oh, does he get it? Oh, my God. Unbelievable defense all the way around. The USA scooping everything. What did Champlin take that ball with? What did you play over the net with? Oh, what a touch. And that. That is such a quality swing. Just barely missing. Love the aggression. Nikolaev once again. He went for it. Big time. It didn't pay off. USA take the set. 25-21. They lead by one set to nothing. Here he comes. Oh, that might have gotten it. Oh, he did get it. That was a slight upgrade from the last service. That's genuine delight from McHenry because he's got this one in. Whips it to that baseline. Change up. Dig. No one can get to it. Jenner has watched Garcia play that goal. That's a good dig. Oh, I probably should have gone and got the next touch. Yeah, that was a difficult chance for the United States. Yeah, just hold your ground. That's kind of what the USA have been doing. Just good positioning. Staying in their ground. Keeping their arms out and up. Here comes Alex. Oh, Shoji, what a pass. And now you at one-on-one. The spread block from Mone. Can't get near it. Just see the set and the put away. At the bottom of your screen, you saw the celebration and rightfully so. Eric Shoji after handling that soft serve from Alex Nicolau. Garcia's quieted down a little bit. But still, the USA in front by four. Small margins. Petkov. Good lead. Champlin not far away at all. Cover by Shoji. Oh no, a little bit too much. A little bit too much entrapment on there. Mone with the serve. Ducking and a dive in. Your toss is done. Set point for the USA. Just crept over. Well watched by Christensen. Gonna do it again though. Oh, he has done. McHenry with it. They shut it down. 25-19. USA take the set. They lead Bulgaria by two sets to nothing. Here comes Christensen. He touches from Robinson. That was a bit catchy. Nothing wrong with that though. That set from Asparov was right on the edge of catch ball. Yeah, it stays on his side though. I mean, is that a call that they make? With the catch ball, certainly, they're not double touches. It's alright. You can do it right. Seems on the inside. I imagine they have to be fairly deep for that to get called. Tontov again though. Fighting off that serve from Christensen. He's been good from the service line for Bulgaria. Oh, yes. What a serve, Petko. McHenry was not expecting that. I think he was in the wrong place. Absolutely, yeah. You can't be standing up in the middle of the court when a guy's tearing jump serves. Oops. Great serve, Petko. Don't see it getting in on that one. Ooh, missing the thing. Yeah, it's done, yeah. Didn't pass the sideline. This is, ooh. That's on the edge. Shoji, and he can't handle it. Shoji taking a lot of room, but that good pace in the scene from Petko again causing trouble for the USA. Here comes Petko. Got a ball from Shoji. Good swing, Robinson. Ooh, that interesting USA just kind of switching around their service reception organization. Shoji was in six on the last ace Petko got. It goes to one. They're expecting the ball. They're getting it. Steadying out. Set points for Bulgaria. Guaranteed to see at least four here in this one. And that is good news for everybody. The 10,000 plus in attendance. Millions of you watching around the world. Good touch. For the set. Wilsonson says no. That's a lovely recycle from Hewitt. Oh, what a finish. Snappy. Can he be acy? He certainly wasn't, but he's got him off the net. He's made another great dig. Well played. Christensen. No! Yes! Hewitt, you what? Well played. I mean, first of all, another spectacular dig from Kanegi. And then Micah to pursue this. Be aware where the signage is and put up a hittable ball. I mean, what is that? 20 meters? It's unbelievable is what it is. I love Hewitt taking a cut at that too. Way to stay aggressive. Geordie. Oh, boy. Ends the set. Bulgaria right back in this match. 25-17. It is the USA who lead by two sets to one. Will it swing back to Bulgaria? Yes, it will. They've got themselves level. Lovely attack. That was a great run. Great pass again from Kolev. It was another quality serve. From Champlin. He's really put the USA in good position. That reception on Nikolov's serve, the put away, and then his first overpass induction. Not risking it. Oh, my goodness. Good up, Champlin. Scrambled both sides, but Nikolov in a great place to have a swing and get the point. Unbelievable finish from Nikolov. How about the fall away? Absolute destruction in the angle. I mean, you're in a good spot, but just can't come up with that pace. It's kind of ricocheted off McKinley as well. Pass from Shoji McKinley. Are we going to go beyond? The beyond of 25. You're saying we've got the bed, we've got the bath. Do we go beyond? Great lead. He needs to serve with no fear. It went bad. Chances, Bulgaria. Oh, Christensen with the touch. Oh, that's going to be it. But Garcia scored in there. And it's set point, Bulgaria. He went with a straight arm, but he couldn't get out of the net. I mean, that was a tremendous swing from Nikolov. He had a great dig from Christensen. He was connected well. 25-22. We are going five. We didn't even ever at any point catch the hint in the air. It was a strong smell. Oh, he had a go on his own. Champlin. Champlin again to stay in it. Now there's a swing chance. Nikolov. Unbelievable. Little grit right there from the United States and Gabby Garcia with the initial read on the dump from Moni Nikolov. Solid serve. Tatarov. Half a chance. Oh, my goodness. There's a challenge coming from the USA. We've got a challenge. The drama continues for moments longer. Blanchini can't believe it, but I mean, what do you expect? Fair play to challenge here. Is there still a twist in the tale? What are we challenging? Maybe a net. I'm not sure about that. How about maybe a net on the block? This is an interesting one. I don't think this is going to work out for the United States. So the celebration will have to be put on pause momentarily. Can you believe Bulgaria comes up with the reverse sweep of the United States? Incredible. Efficiency wise. Oh, I like this beat. The most crazy reversal. We thought the Philippines-Iran was the most drama you could possibly have in a big set. I have no words. Continue. I have no words. This is astounding. And now Bulgaria have to collect themselves. Gendry still at the line. Last chance saloon for Bulgaria to do it from side A. There it is. Bulgaria are through to the semifinals. And it is the USA who are beaten in five. What a game. Best game of the tournament so far. Without a doubt. What tremendous focus and poise from a young Bulgarian squad to get that done under such unique and bizarre circumstances there at the end. What a match. Holy moly. The reverse sweep for Bulgaria against a fantastic United States team. You have got to love this sport.
