00:00 As best server, Owa Ratamar will start us off to the quick.
00:05 Kamay Mayan is denied.
00:07 Kamay Mayan needs to find ways to avoid that triple block.
00:11 UE needs to be a little bit more crafty with their attacks.
00:15 Sharp serve, Owa Ratamar with a service ace.
00:19 Ratamar starting off his squad earlier.
00:23 And this could be the change that UE needs.
00:27 Owa back set, Almendras goes cross court.
00:31 He has so many options.
00:33 He's already good, his spikers are already good.
00:35 Life must be good for Owa Ratamar.
00:37 In the meantime, here comes Reyes scoring a point.
00:42 Reyes going for that down the line.
00:44 They target Sumagi with the first ball.
00:48 To Arringo, there you go.
00:50 He puts it down.
00:51 You know, that's a smart play by Ratamar because we have Aligayon.
00:54 Choi Jau, or Taguibolos rather, serving.
00:57 Bikar to the opposite.
01:01 Wow, single block coverage for J. Disketano.
01:04 Maybe an off speed attack, a tip.
01:06 Nice serve.
01:08 To the left pin, Aligayon, that's popped up by Taguibolos.
01:14 Bump set for Arringo.
01:17 Turning something out of nothing there for Arringo.
01:24 Reyes with some power of that.
01:27 He looks a lot more comfortable in his original position here.
01:31 Now he will be serving, three serving six.
01:34 Ratamar, adjustment there by Jau.
01:39 Wow, Disketano,
01:42 trampolining over the blockers for that one.
01:51 Bikar sends it to Aligayon, popped up there by Arringo.
01:55 Disketano over three blockers.
01:58 That's the second kill block now for UE in set number one.
02:02 That play with that block.
02:05 But Disketano was actually trapped in that sequence.
02:08 See that they're actually doing a triple ball.
02:10 You got to maximize that height and might.
02:13 Bikar to the middle.
02:17 Defea tried to place it.
02:20 Almendras adjusts and scores.
02:22 You see in that sequence, Ratamar was actually faking.
02:25 Axel Defea is at the service line.
02:28 So Magui with the first pass, bump set into Almendras,
02:34 who puts it down.
02:36 Almendras, he is their go to spiker.
02:39 Target, JP Mangahes, pauses for a try
02:45 and sends that one home over three blockers.
02:49 This is by far their strongest rotation
02:51 because Ratamar is in the back row.
02:53 Sharp serve from Owa.
02:56 Bikar sends it close to the net.
02:58 Kamay Mayan keeps it in play.
03:01 Pauses from the opposite side.
03:03 I believe there's a check ball there.
03:06 Sharp serve to Taguibolos.
03:10 A little low to the net.
03:15 To the other side, Arringo,
03:17 tried to squeeze it past the blockers.
03:19 Just nice, intelligent play there.
03:20 Goes straight to Pozas.
03:26 Aligayon with the elevation and the execution.
03:29 Quick. Bikar, nice take.
03:36 Aligayon sends it.
03:39 So Magui will play center.
03:41 Deskitado will try and he scores.
03:46 Velez down the line.
03:49 Jau sends it.
03:50 Deskitado with back to back points.
03:52 Deskitado targeting.
03:55 Finish this game.
03:57 Lessen their unforced errors and win in terms of offense and defense.
04:01 Aligayon over the double block.
04:05 Aligayon targeting that block with Jau.
04:08 And 17 serving nine now.
04:11 Arringo leading all scorers.
04:15 Chance ball and new Arringo.
04:17 Retamar, Deskitado.
04:20 And a check ball.
04:23 18 serving nine.
04:25 Arringo with five points in the opening set.
04:28 Iteralde back sets.
04:33 Adjustment by Deskitado.
04:37 Ball kept alive there.
04:39 Pozas.
04:42 Their point there for Joshua Pozas.
04:44 And Abanilla entering for the first time.
04:48 Regalo happily accepted from Jau.
04:52 Really rewarding the coaching staff with the start here.
04:55 Ancheta sets it up.
05:03 And Almendras gets it
05:06 from the blockers to score that point.
05:10 So let's see if Andre Bicar can maximize his full front line.
05:14 Ancheta the set up.
05:17 Taguebolos managing to score a point there.
05:20 You just look at your label and say thank you.
05:23 Yes. Thank you so much.
05:24 But I mean, that also goes to show that
05:27 Retamar is also not a choosy setter.
05:30 Whatever dig comes his way, he really finds.
05:33 He wins the first one.
05:35 25 to 13 after this kill block.
05:40 Just a clean bounce back set from Ennio after that.
05:43 Almendras with the help of the net.
05:47 What they say, better to be lucky than good sometimes.
05:51 Yes. And I serve.
05:55 Retamar underhand set for Deskitado.
05:59 Returned a push by Taguebolos.
06:02 Bicar adjusts.
06:06 Roca tried to drop it down.
06:09 That's how far it's very high
06:12 in that section.
06:15 And speaking of powerful hits,
06:17 that one was a powerful hit from Aligayon.
06:19 Overreceived.
06:25 Bicar the set up.
06:27 Aligayon will score again for back to back points.
06:30 Who has six points will be serving.
06:36 Misreceived there. Free ball.
06:38 Deskitado attacks right away.
06:41 Sumagi backpedals.
06:43 A chance here for UE.
06:45 Bicar will respond with Roca.
06:48 That one was checked.
06:50 That antenna and that block of Ennio.
06:53 Deskitado almost finding that if he had gone for that left.
06:57 Roca finding that tiny seam down the line.
07:03 A ring goal.
07:06 That one was a bullet.
07:08 He fooled us also.
07:10 He's a magician here.
07:12 Nine serving four now.
07:14 It's another great serve by Deskitado.
07:16 It's also a wake up call.
07:23 Yes. In terms of body language for UE.
07:31 And Roca coming from the side of UE.
07:35 Sharp serve from Aligayon.
07:39 High bump set.
07:40 Almendras goes cross.
07:43 Bicar will counter from the back row.
07:45 Aligayon.
07:46 Let's take a look at that replay.
07:49 Aligayon finding that hole in.
07:53 Aligayon now leading UE with five points.
07:57 And a service ace.
08:01 Especially going up against a team like NU.
08:02 Almendras from the back.
08:09 That one returned.
08:11 They reverse it.
08:11 Deskitado pushes.
08:14 Bicar dumps it down.
08:16 I think that's three straight points now for UE.
08:18 That, along with the other players here of NU.
08:21 Nice play from...
08:23 He's been playing well from the PBL.
08:29 Almendras cross.
08:31 Sent right back.
08:32 Joust at the net.
08:34 Ball in NU's possession.
08:37 Pipe attack.
08:37 Deskitado, that one catches the line.
08:40 Seven for seven.
08:42 100% here.
08:44 And we're already in set number two.
08:46 In the meantime, Kamay Mayan was denied by Nico Almendras.
08:50 Almendras read that easily.
08:52 But Almendras read that like a book.
08:56 He knew that Bicar was going for that A quick attack.
08:59 UE was responded by Forura now from NU.
09:03 Mangahes, Bicar, Pozas.
09:06 Sharp cross court.
09:08 Deskitado.
09:14 Owa.
09:15 Arringo.
09:17 It's a nice hit there.
09:22 Bicar sets it up for Oroka.
09:30 Scoring his fourth point of the ball game versus Adamson.

09:57 Nice serve.
09:58 Aligayon pushes.
10:01 As well as Oroka.
10:05 Second leading scorer with four.
10:07 Misreceive.
10:11 Bicar opens up Aligayon.
10:14 And he scores another one.
10:16 Budin and Budin having a hard time
10:19 getting that feel, feel rather, of that receive.
10:23 Choi Jau.
10:25 Her first ball resulting into a point by Axel Defeo.
10:35 24 serving 16.
10:39 Nice first ball there to the quick.
10:42 Kamay Mayan or Defeo.
10:45 Really switching it up now.
10:48 Nice serve.
10:49 Nice set.
10:52 Nice drop ball there from Abanilla.
10:56 Finish things off here in the second set.
11:00 I mean, just not a strong start, but a finishing end as well.
11:05 They were able to reflect on what had happened
11:08 from their losses.
11:11 Guterralde.
11:15 Nice set.
11:16 The back set for Oroka.
11:18 It's a lucky point from the right pin.
11:22 Disquetado in double figures as well
11:26 with 11 points.
11:28 Aligayon with the approach off the block.
11:31 He will get the point from the middle blockers.
11:33 It cannot just be a one man team.
11:36 Guatemala adjusts for the second ball.
11:38 Disquetado was checked
11:40 from the right pin.
11:43 That was Oroka.
11:44 Arringo.
11:47 Arringo.
11:47 To set Arringo at the right time, right moment, right time.
11:54 Marajes misreceives Aligayon and bumps it.
11:58 Pozas will just want to send that one over.
12:01 Arringo again.
12:03 Joust won by Jau.
12:07 Especially he can afford making these mistakes
12:11 with this type of cushion here.
12:14 So Magui, nice first ball,
12:16 pushed by Disquetado.
12:18 And they still managed to get the point from that.
12:20 You would think he would just dump it down.
12:24 That's what you call a selfless setter here.
12:26 Nice attack.
12:28 Nice dig.
12:28 There.
12:29 Gautien tried to chase.
12:32 You know, it means a lot.
12:34 Yes.
12:35 Not a man of words, but.
12:38 That one with the help of the net gets across.
12:43 The backpedal from Retamar.
12:45 So Magui will play setter.

12:48 Triple block time for UE.
12:50 Itoralde will give it to Aligayon.

14:07 wanting Arringo to score, but
14:09 You're nearing the 20 mark, Jaime.

14:14 You need to minimize the unforced errors.

14:23 And we are tied at 20.
14:25 Pedibolos in the front.
