00:00 here in the lineup.
00:01 Jorge Banez will be the receiving libero
00:04 and Vic Forenzo will be the digging libero.
00:07 Alas Pilipinas will get their first point
00:10 off that quick attack.
00:11 Lloyd Dosafat and Jade Disketado are the changes
00:18 in the starting lineup for Alas Pilipinas.
00:21 Romandal getting ready to serve.
00:24 3-2 is the score.
00:28 And the dive, saved.
00:30 Oh, credit that to Vince Lorenzo for saving that ball.
00:34 And then the attack.
00:36 No free ball from Mark Espejo.
00:41 It's already an out of system play
00:45 but he was still able to get past the defenders of Thailand.
00:48 Quick two points for Mark Espejo.
00:50 Serving once again.
00:52 It's a good serve, two-point lead for Alas Pilipinas.
00:57 Saved the set and the point for Kim Malabunga.
01:01 The NU connection right there.
01:03 It's been a while since they were teammates
01:06 but we've seen a lot of that center-middle connection
01:11 from Oaretamar and Kim Malabunga.
01:13 Seven points in that win against Chinese Taipei.
01:18 One-point lead.
01:21 But a tied game after that emphatic kill from Lloyd Dosafat.
01:26 Three quick works for Lloyd Dosafat.
01:29 Double block was definitely late for Thailand.
01:34 They enjoyed that point.
01:37 The play continues.
01:38 Retamar goes to the left.
01:41 Kept alive.
01:42 That was a save coming from Prasert.
01:44 Second try for Thailand.
01:49 They go to the captain.
01:50 Esquitado picks it up.
01:52 Goes for the attack and the score.
01:55 Philippines starting to heat up.
01:57 Oaretamar has been dishing out a lot of excellent sets
02:02 from all sides of the court.
02:04 We like that coming from Jade
02:09 as we are halfway through the opening set.
02:12 Ibanez picks it up.
02:15 Retamar tosses and Espejo takes care of it.
02:18 Joshua Ibanez is so comfortable in that overhead pass.
02:23 So much control in that first ball.
02:26 Oaretamar sending that way to Marcus Espejo.
02:32 You know that.
02:33 Again, the Thais are just forcing the Filipinos
02:37 to commit mistakes on the pass.
02:39 Consistency has been up and down in that department.
02:44 But every time Alas Pilipinas gets a good first ball,
02:48 they immediately convert of that first ball.
02:51 Down by three points.
02:54 17 serving 20 here in set number one.
02:59 At the chase.
03:03 Oh, what a setup.
03:04 Retamar was there for the pickup.
03:06 They go to Umandal.
03:09 Play continues.
03:11 Jau again.
03:12 And the second try works.
03:14 That's what you get when you have coverage behind attackers.
03:18 Jau Umandal wasn't playing.
03:19 Behind the attackers, Jau Umandal wasn't able to get the kill
03:22 from his first attempt.
03:23 But Vince Lorenzo was there and that provided Jau Umandal.
03:26 These errors from the service line,
03:29 when you add them all up,
03:31 you would see the impact on the set score.
03:34 Yeah.
03:35 Definitely, this would have been a different ball game
03:39 had the Philippines limited their errors.
03:43 But it's not yet done.
03:45 And Kim Malabunga giving them a fighting chance with that point.
03:49 Umandal serving.
03:51 And this time it's an ace.
03:53 Finally.
03:54 A service ace for the Philippines.
03:57 They've been trying to deliver a lot of heavy serves
04:00 towards the receivers of Thailand.
04:02 And that's really a service, right?
04:05 High risk, high reward for Jau Umandal.
04:07 You see.
04:08 Really finding the right targets when it comes to their serving.
04:13 Jau Umandal scoring off the block.
04:18 First point here in set number 2.
04:20 Retamar had no choice but to push that over.
04:32 There he goes to Ozafat.
04:35 That's been effective for Las Filipinas.
04:41 Look at how Lloyd Ozafat changed his angle.
04:44 He saw the double block.
04:47 Play continues.
04:48 3-point lead for Thailand.
04:51 Let's see how Las Filipinas will respond.
04:54 Umandal stops the bleeding.
04:58 That's all about recovery for Las Filipinas.
05:02 I guess from time to time they give out a couple of free points to Thailand.
05:08 11-10.
05:12 Good ball by Ibanez.
05:15 That leads to the Disquitado attack.
05:17 And that's the thing about young guns.
05:21 They're not intimidated.
05:23 They have so much energy.
05:25 So much power in their bodies.
05:27 Just a ball of the bat as Disquitado.
05:31 And you can't afford to have those types of half-baked blocks.
05:38 You have to be solid.
05:39 Retamar back sets.
05:43 Retamar back sets to Espejo.
05:46 Good response.
05:48 17-16.
05:56 Espejo with a good serve.
05:58 No! Miss cue.
06:00 On the second ball between Andurac and Amointep.
06:04 That will be the first service ace of Marcus Pejo here in the second set.
06:12 No follow-up for the Thais.
06:16 And that's because they're now looking to build and get a two-set advantage.
06:24 But Jey Disquitado says otherwise.
06:27 Good response after the timeout from the youngster.
06:31 Jey Disquitado is on fire for Las Filipinas.
06:36 Single block.
06:39 Single block.
06:41 Goes for the serve.
06:44 Flips the net.
06:45 Unyarit sets up the play.
06:48 Denied!
06:49 And the big block coming from Jau Umandal.
06:52 That's a taste of their own medicine.
06:55 They've been checking Jau Umandal.
06:57 Now is the perfect time for Jau to come up big and score for the Philippines.
07:03 And it's seldom that this has to go through.
07:07 And that's a safe serve.
07:10 Now he's back with Thailand.
07:13 Bunyarit tosses it to the left.
07:15 Denied!
07:17 But still playable.
07:18 Chance here for the Philippines.
07:20 Retamor goes to Malabunga.
07:24 Unpredictability is not working for a Las Filipinas.
07:28 Quick set to Kim Malabunga.
07:32 That was just a vertical jump.
07:35 He wasn't able to get a full approach.
07:37 But in transition you really have to play it fast.
07:41 He puts a Las Filipinas at set point 24 to 23.
07:47 Almendra saves it.
07:53 Retamor.
07:55 Disquitado.
07:57 Or Espejo rather.
07:59 And Mark Espejo gets that point.
08:04 After getting blocked, Mark Espejo will get a clean attack.
08:09 Sharp cross court. Good to go for a Las Filipinas.
08:12 Look at that cross court kill coming from Mark Espejo.
08:17 Now he is almost exclusively going to the middle blockers.
08:23 Great pass there from Mark Espejo.
08:26 And Nico Almendras will now get his first point of the match.
08:33 And he joins the scoring column.
08:35 Did not see action in the first two games.
08:38 Two point lead.
08:40 Six serving four.
08:42 This is Anujit Ondek.
08:45 Back set to Disquitado.
08:51 Picked up.
08:53 He'll go to the left side and a facial.
08:56 To Disquitado.
08:59 Straight to the face and...
09:03 You see number 10, Jack Ridd, apologizing for the hit.
09:07 That is part of the game.
09:11 That was a difficult angle to make because Owarekamar was already there.
09:20 It happened so fast in game for Disquitado.
09:23 Just couldn't avoid that ball.
09:27 That can be painful. That's not a soft hit.
09:31 You can get hit on the side of the head.
09:33 It's painful.
09:35 What more in front of your face as...
09:39 Espejo answers back.
09:43 Espejo finds that corner pocket.
09:48 He got it back.
09:50 Saranchit now serving.
09:54 7 to 8.
09:57 Again that connection between him and Osafat.
10:01 Not working but...
10:03 Lloyd Osafat doing it on defense.
10:06 Lloyd Osafat and Owarekamar...
10:10 Have been the source of the block points of the Philippines.
10:16 Anurag serving 8 to 10.
10:24 Good ball by Lorenzo.
10:25 And the point from Disquitado.
10:29 This time on the left side.
10:32 Look at the leaping ability.
10:38 You have to be firm.
10:43 One-hand set.
10:47 And what an attack for Nico Almeida.
10:51 What a set for Owarekamar that takes a lot of skill and mastery.
10:57 But he was able to push that ball.
11:03 3-point lead.
11:05 Oversee chance once again.
11:09 Espejo.
11:11 Slowed down.
11:13 The block.
11:17 A supercord attack.
11:19 That's something that they weren't able to do a while ago.
11:23 But Malabunga...
11:25 With his outstretched arms delivering that one.
11:30 ...away from taking a 2-set 2-1 lead.
11:35 Off the block.
11:37 Disquitado scores.
11:46 Alas, Philippines pulled off a successful comeback in set number 2.
11:51 If you can take that risk, you can double up on Amonte.
11:54 And leave a single blocker to the other attackers.
11:58 Retamar.
12:02 Another chance here for Thailand.
12:06 It's a block and it's inside.
12:09 Espejo and Osafat.
12:11 Teaming up on the left side.
12:15 Teaming up on that one.
12:16 This would be the best blocking set for Alas, Philippines in the entire tournament.
12:22 3 set points for them.
12:25 Retamar goes to Malabunga.
12:29 That's one point saved.
12:31 Marcus Espejo will now...
12:40 Move to the front line.
12:43 Amonte touched the net as well for Thailand.
12:45 That was number 12.
12:48 Anochip.
12:51 Even though Amonte has a small space left, he still finds a way to kill that ball.
13:02 Back row hit for Noel Captain.
13:06 His first point.
13:08 Fresh legs for the Philippines.
13:13 Good pick up from Disquitado.
13:14 Retamar finding the spot.
13:16 Smart play.
13:18 Court sense from Owaretamar.
13:20 Initially I thought that it would be a joust at the net.
13:23 Or a battle at the net.
13:25 But he saw that we were going to have a lot of space.
13:28 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:30 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:32 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:34 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:36 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:38 And he was able to get a lot of space.
13:41 And he saw that Lebel was also behind the blocker.
13:44 For the Philippines.
13:46 Tied game at 10-all.
13:48 Retamar.
13:50 Upset to Captain.
13:52 The dive by two players.
13:56 Captain getting another point.
14:00 Point number 3 for Noel Captain.
14:05 Yup, that ball already hit the floor.
14:08 And it was a good shot by Amorin Tep.
14:11 What an upset to Captain.
14:15 He's been an X-Factor here in set number 4.
14:20 Quick swing from Noel Captain against a single block.
14:31 And a chip serving for Thailand.
14:38 Oa goes back to Espejo.
14:41 And it's inside and a point.
14:44 And Mark Espejo is starting to come alive.
14:51 Here in set number 4.
14:54 With everybody on the same page.
14:58 Everybody on the same page.
14:59 And that was Noel Captain.
15:09 Coming alive here in set number 4.
15:14 Did not see action in the first three sets.
15:17 But look at what he has done for Alas, Pilipinas.
15:20 He's been waiting for his moment.
15:25 And there you go, play continues. And a block for Lloyd Osafat.
15:29 Never mind the noise.
15:32 As he focuses on that rejection.
15:36 Solo block against Tanapar.
15:46 And this.
15:49 Supakorn.
15:53 With a chance to end this one.
15:55 Almost.
15:58 Esquitado.
16:00 Able to save it.
16:02 Thailand will have 4 chances.
16:10 To get this win.
16:13 Play perfect volleyball from here on out.
16:17 Back row.
16:22 Ritamar.
16:23 Espejo.
16:25 That's out.
16:27 And Lloyd in Thailand wins the match.
