Türkiye vs Japan Epic Volleyball Battle Highlights

It's Turkiye in black serving, it's Japan in red receiving for the ACN Volleyball Nations League here in Osaka, Japan. Both teams know they need a win and that is a wonderful start, a break point start for Turkiye and Gunes shutting the door quickly. This will have to go wide, Hadeem struggling a little bit, does well to recycle it. Gukodome, great dig, just get it back in, Turkiye come again and again. And again, and eventually they get the point. Shahin, speed in the attack, Yamada gets that away before Turkiye can react. As this ball crosses over in the seam. Here comes Yamada. Oh yes, Shimomura commits on Cazale. Three point, 13 all. The serve from front court, Sato. That's an up from Gragas, but it's free ball now Japan. In system as well, Shimomura. Good touch from Aydin. Vargas, trouble. Big trouble for Japan. What a swing from Melissa Vargas. This is what makes the game so enjoyable to watch. The passing quality when it is as good as it is at the moment. As we thought it might be at 19 all. It's a good touch. Break point chance here. It's going to go to Vargas and it will be the point. This has to be side of the court for Japan and straight away. But no, they can't do it, Seki was covering in behind the block but kind of caught watching. It's hit, it's covered well by Turkiye, Gunes has been getting better. Reception or whatever, just a mishit. Touches, so it's free ball coming Turkiye, but Vargas out of the action. Baladin not, good touch from Aydin. Forced that one to Vargas, that could be costly. Now Japan have a chance. Wada, take their chance. That is a great choice from Seki to go long ball. Goal 10. That's a swing, Guijada getting in on the middle action. Guijada once again, once again going after Baladín. And once again, there's a chance here for a break point for Japan. Good touches in the block from Cassell. Good up. Sophie Frontrose, she can go up and have a block, but there is no stopping that. Goodness me, what a swing from Melissa Vargas. Great touch. How important will it prove to be? Incredibly important because Vargas has just melted that ball to the line. Oh yes, kiss out, lovely angle, but this now, three point lead for Japan, they side out against set point, we should be going 1-1. Beautiful turn on the swing. Right up, and well safe, but is that not interference with Shimomura having to move out of the way? It doesn't matter, Japan take the point, and with it, most importantly, they have the set, 25-22. Pass from Aydin, and a super swing on the angle cross court. Navarro acting as passer, and then Ryder coming in on the pipe. Very quick. Sal's going to Steve, and the block's always waiting for that one. Percent efficiency, Vargas, below 50 now. Not going to do that against Japan. Won't get away with it though, Turkey 8. That looked like a massive throw. Massive throw, and a massive block, and the referee has said it's fine. She's everywhere. Free ball there for Turkey 8, three front row attackers. Oh, he's in. Oh, he's in. Talk about putting dents in the floor. She has been electric from the beginning. It's in. A little combo from Turkiye, Vargas steps out. The ball in. It's going to be a little bit higher this time. That's called Cortinez. You'll have to go over. Break point. Big, big point. Is there another break point in the offing here? Oh, I say no, there isn't because of that sneaky little cut from Cortinez. All in this time. Swing from Balladin, that's superb. Wada, will he step inside from her? for the side-out point. Do-si-do on the approach. Wada, passing's been really good from Turkiye, whether it be Balladin or Aydin or Urge, they are matching Japan, and as a result, they're getting these opportunities. Here comes Kassar. Long for Sato, that's an error from Turkiye. Shines okay, it is a block for... What a block. It's getting better and better here. Turkiye have a massive lead. There's work to be done here for Japan. Wada starting that work with the side-out. First things first. Let's get off of this Vargas serve. Everybody's too far up into the court. It's a massive block for Turkiye. Wada again. Ace serve for Wada. What a moment for Mikiko Wada to bring up her first ace of the match. What a way to do it as well. Oh, that's a block. That is a monster. Shaheen and Kisal not even thinking about Shimomura. It's a shuffle, shuffle. Shaheen stays strong. You just can tell the ball is moving into the area. That wide is also coming in. Sakai with the serve. Touch, and again. It's okay though, in system here. Yunesh once more makes sure of it. I'm asking. It's being moved. Front row here for Tokyo. Can Japan get past it? Yes. And again. Here comes Wada. First bit done, it's in. Türkiye have to play it. Aydin does it. That's it. It's all over. Türkiye have the win. They have beaten Japan by three sets to one. And will that be enough?
