China 🇨🇳 vs. Colombia 🇨🇴 - Highlights | Women's World Championships 2025

In red serving China in blue and we are underway Rob Snook and Claire Hanna here courtside in Chiang Mai. Marine sets it up. Segovia block. Recycled Columbia they come again and shut down on the monster block by Huang. A 10 to 2 run right now. Oh nice keep up. They've got to be ready on defense. Here comes China on the slide. Oh it's pushed over anyway by Segovia. They come again. Shuang. Nice dig from Toro. China comes again. Shuang picked up. Great coverage. Another and now they score on the slide from Gao. All of a sudden look at this nice attack from Gao. She actually passed the free ball. Trouble off the net. Pushed over on the free ball by Toro. Oh great dig from Marin trying to stay out of the way. Here's Shuang. Wow what a dig. Another great dig from Marine. And Elijah can't believe she did that. Referee friend Ibrahim Faroozi says let's play. Back underway. Here comes the back row attack. Elijah it doesn't hit the roof. Shuang off hand scores another for team China. Fifth serve in a row for Lee. Toro just bumps it over. Another free ball chance for China to add to their lead. Mission accomplished. Shuang. Wendy Vargas has come off the bench to serve. Middle attack. Set point China. The only Olympic gold medalist out on the floor from 2016. Gongsheng Xiao. And that's it for the set. It's the blocking this time of Gao that finishes it off. John running a very quick and clean offense. I'm interested to see when we see the stats break down just how many errors there were for each team because it seemed like a pretty clean game but at one point the block for China just started intimidating Columbia. Serve receive so important for Columbia. Starts with a good one. Elijah down the line. That's what they want. Well and it was started with a good pass. Remember that serve receive. Asqua looking to deliver another good serve. Shuang and we've got a net touch against Dominican Republic. Here's Manko to serve. And it's an overpass and it's a one-point game again. China paid big time for their error. Oh she was determined on this one. This is a back row situation where she's going to do some serving. Slide play. Out of valley but this time China stops it. Here's Shuang. Segovia grips that one. Kept alive China. Shuang off hands. Another chance for Columbia to attack. Not willing to go down without a fight. The match's leading scorer. Oh the fake was excellent. That gave a solo block. Season long. Not once. Set point Columbia. And that's the set. 25-23. A really good effort and uh team China not happy right now with the way things are going. And the head coach letting that be known to his players. Meanwhile that second the serve from the center Marine. Cross court shot from Gong. But it's more of a 72. Well that one I don't know what number that one was but it found the corner anyway. Shuang Yushan. Coordinated slide play that time. Here's Elijah goes with the tip picked up by Ni Feifan. And they're gonna score from Tong Xin. Played at the Olympic Games last year. Has changed her number since then. Pasqua rips it down. Center Marine. Against an Olympic gold medalist. Rangel pops it up. Segovia. That assistant play comes from China. They're gonna score on it anyway. From Shuang. 18-9. Leading scorer in this set. Good hands on the ball. A chance for China to attack with Shuang. And she scores. Ramirez is coming to the game for Columbia in the front row. Nicely popped up by Elijah. But it's a free ball opportunity for China. Wong and she hammers it. Catherine Ramirez the 20-year-old middle blocker. Sends it deep at Ni. And it's another point for China. Caraballi. Popped up. Segovia sending it deep but out and that's it for the set. China absolutely takes control with a 25-14 win and leading two sets to one in the match. Marine sets up Elijah. Nice pop up by Shuang. This is tight for Tong. Chance for Columbia to tie it. Yes they can. Segovia. Let's find out. Marine with the back set to Segovia. Nice pick up from Gong. Good hands at the net for Columbia. They come again China. Again covered by Columbia. Here's Segovia again. Blocked. Good reaction by Pasqua. Elijah with the hard tip. Another chance for Columbia. They're in system. And they score. Caraballi through the middle. No touch. Are we going to challenge says Columbia? Yes we are. No block touch so the challenge is unsuccessful. Zhuang Yushan. Pasqua. Nice pick up. Well not a great pick up but it's kept alive. Gong sends it over. Pasqua. Popped up this time by Zhuang. Pretty good set across the floor. They come from the back. Elijah gets shut down. And that was really interesting how Gao kind of dove into the angle. Good take from Gong. Tong off the block and it's getting close now for China. Tong's kind of sitting on the bench. We haven't didn't get to see her and all of a sudden she's made an impact in a big way. It's still match point China. Good dig by the uh Roberto Toro and that leads to another point. Columbia they're keeping going here. The captain Marion to serve trying to keep this going for Columbia. Still facing set point and they get a block point. Segovia and Rangel working over there. Her third block point and a left it too short and that's it. China wins at 25-16 and wins the match three sets to one.
