Japan Has Made One of the Greatest Comebacks in Women's Volleyball History !!!

Sakai serves again. Yasutsuke can't push it all the way to Vanescu. Just out of the reach of Sato. Well played for Yasutsuke. Japan are taking some very aggressive positions in their position six defence relative to whether it's Sakai or Wada front row. Going around the outside to get into her position but that likewise not the best of passes. But Nishikawa's ready. Good up from Labkovska. Well played as well. Stays behind the ball but doesn't get the touches off. It's this Kitamoto serve. That's a good ball in. And that is a fantastic side out. And that means it's a 23-19. We have a 23-19. No body panic. Magnus Dischak did not panic at all. That is as calm as you like on that cross-court swing. You just get mesmerized. You get drawn into watching. And by the time you then realize where the ball's gone, it's too late. Tempo so fast. Yamada. Oh, Shimomura. Not letting anything through. But can't stop that one. And now it is set point for Poland. Definitely a better second half of the set for Japan. Left themselves a little bit too much work to do after Poland was super in control in the early set. Into transition. A swing for the set. Magnus Dischak does it. And that will be Poland's set. Magdalena Dischak. Big swing from her. And a 25-20 first. So structured. Everything in the right place at the right time. It's a great pass. That ball is perfect. Poland really struggling to get two blockers on an attacker. The speed. And this is the inside play that Akash was talking about. Takes Winierska out of the block. Doesn't allow a time to react for Poput. Yamada. Lovely ball in. A rare slide. Middles haven't been used that much for Poland. Poput tends to be used more on the straight up and down. Plays something in front of the setter. It ought to be done here by Shikawa. Oh, couldn't quite go far enough to the line. And that is some hit from Piasecka to bring up set points. Brilliant defense from Lampkowska. Stops her feet early. Comes back to the play. But this angle from Piasecka is fantastic. Great footwork to get to the ball. Sorry, Clayton. It's all right. It was great footwork. Winierska with the serve. That's another top touch from Lampkowska. She's played so well in defense. Stysiak does well. So too Kojima. It stays in play. But for how much longer? A chance for Japan to stay in the set. Sato thinks she's got it off the block. There might be a challenge. It's going to have to be a challenge coming. Because it's set point. And there is a challenge. Yamada. First swing for Damaska. Only a continuation. Sato. Not quite for her. Damaska makes a decent touch. But once again, Stysiak a little low. Glock slows it down. Szygloszka makes a good dig. Good up that from Seki. Better chance now for Japan. Damaska, did she get hands? No, she did not. Aggresses. Yamada once again. Been on court the whole time in the front row in terms of attacking options. Oh, good touch. It's still going. Damaska can't find a full swing. If Japan don't win this point, they are going to challenge it. They don't think that the ball was made properly. It doesn't matter though. The block is good. It's set point, Japan. Japan have done such a good job to force Poland into difficult situations. Four percent and getting it. Shimomura deals with the overpass. And Japan take the set 25-19. They are still in this match. Serving serve. Miku, it was sour. Served an overpass last time round. Not this time. And that is something. Well played, Glockowski. Oh, what a serve. Szygloszka with the ace. It's her first serve of the match. And unsurprisingly, timeout by Japan. Oh, what a serve that is. There is an option to tip on her in defense. This job is to handle the serve. Shimomura ready for the ball that might come off the net. Seki and Shimomura are on the ball inside the three-meter duty. Might just be it now. 24-20. Set point, Japan. And what a... Back to the serving line. Is this the moment for Japan? No. But plenty of opportunities from serve reception here for Japan. To take the set and send this to a decider. Not something we thought would be happening when 5-2, nothing up with the way that they were playing. But what a turnaround. This has been from Japan. It's a good ball in. And of course, it would have to be Shimomura. So fast. And look at that. 25-21. Japan take the set. It's 2-2. We are going five. What a way to round out week three here in Osaka. A libero by trade. Serving sub for this game. That was a good serve. Good ball in as well. Oh, yes. Labkovska hammering that one. What a moment to come up with the swing. Short distance play. Labkovska takes on the seam. This looks to overpower. Here's the thing now. Can Japan keep the blinkers on? Eyes off the scoreboard. They side this out. They've got match ball. They've got Macau ball. If they can side this out. That's not happening. Jurcic with the monster block. Shimomura has made such a difference on this shoot call. For the last two and a half sets. Finally, Poland get the right solution. Japan take a timeout. Aggressively. Really press that button hard. Yeah, but don't just vote for your favorite player. Vote for the player that's actually played well. And then we get a really good. I know it's Skolma. She's my favorite. I'm going to vote for Wada because I like Wada. No, actually, probably vote for Wada. She's been amazing. She has been fantastic. There's so many good choices available this week. Fukudomi. Szygloszka. Everyone's played so well. Here we go. A side out chance. Sato. Oh, yes. Yes. Sato somehow gets that ball off the block. And it is now the count point for Japan. Yoshino Sato finds the right solution. Doesn't overpower the ball. Works the block. What a moment to make that choice. Oh, you can see the tension. Yamada can't bear it. Here comes Sato. This has to be in. No, it is. But Japan have won. Thanks.
