Описание: Japan and Poland Played One of the Most Exciting Volleyball Matches in 2025 !!! Poland beats Japan in thrilling saga. An epic 39-37 in set four puts an end to the nerve-wracking battle!

Opposite Kewin Sasak led Poland to an epic 3-1 (27-25, 25-22, 18-25, 39-37) victory. The first set offered a particularly thrilling ending. Japan had a quadruple set point at 24-20, but with middle blocker Szymon Jakubiszak and captain Rafal Szymura owning the net with their blocks and spikes, Poland leveled up and went ahead on a 6-1 run. Finally, 22-year-old opposite Aliaksei Nasevich added one more point with a monster block for 27-25 to close the set Poland’s way.

Following this momentum changer, Poland doubled their lead by winning the second set. Japan dominated set three in an attempt for a turnaround and were very close to pushing the battle to a deciding fifth set. In the fourth, they came back from a seven-point deficit and then denied a double match point for Poland at 24-22, before the set went deep into overtime. In a nerve-wracking exchange of multiple opportunities to close the set for both sides, finally Sasak’s monster block nailed the 39-37 match winner.

Sasak topped the match chart with a total of 20 points, including two kill blocks. He registered a 55% success rate in attack. Outside hitters Artur Szalpuk and Rafal Szymura, and middle blockers Jakub Nowak and Szymon Jakubiszak all dipped into the double digits with 16, 14, 13 and 12 points, respectively. They all made solid contributions to Poland’s blocking effort, which resulted in 14 stuffs combined against only three for Japan.

“For us, it was a tough game. And the last set was amazing! The two teams showed their best volleyball. Maybe there were too many mistakes on our side, but it’s a game. We won, so we are happy,” Sasak told VBTV after the match. “We tried to keep our concentration, to help each other, to focus on the next action and that’s all. We want to win every game. That’s our plan. Nothing changed…”

Japan managed to outscore Poland from the serving line, with six aces against none. Three of those were authored by 21-year-old outside Masato Kai, who finished with a team-high 18 points. Opposite Keihan Takahashi, also 21 years old, who subbed in for Kento Miyaura, added another 13 points for last year’s bronze medalists.

“I saw the fighting spirit of my team. Although we were losing by 2-0, we fought back. We missed some opportunities to win the first set and the fourth set, but what a nice game! It was really fantastic!” commented Japan’s French head coach Laurent Tillie. “I am always feeling optimistic. I know it is difficult, but I like the way the players listen and they try... The players from the bench bring a lot of energy and quality, so it’s very interesting for the future.”
