00:00 for the Lekana.

00:02 As Yambau back set.

00:06 To Iggy Umandal.

00:08 The rookie who showed up big time in that previous game.

00:12 Score is 20-17 in favor of the yellow shirts.

00:17 They go to the right pin.

00:19 As Yambau back set to Iggy.

00:23 Iggy Umandal ducks it in.

00:28 So USC again, much like in the first game that they had in the semifinals.

00:33 Really did their homework prior to this match and we can see it so evidently here.

00:38 Here comes Nadera again.

00:40 Ooh that is a block on Nadera.

00:43 And the USC Golden Spikers will take set number one.

00:50 Let's take a look at this, Neil.

00:57 Still blocked from USC.

01:00 USC has this chance, they're down by four.

01:03 It's kept alive.

01:09 Such a simple move, smart play there.

01:16 Sometimes, rookies, we see a lot of rookies who go to the tower by default.

01:22 But then they will let USC come back and now they have the lead again.

01:27 And they just gotta channel that elimination round.

01:31 They were the strongest team.

01:34 That is off the block.

01:39 Trying to play catch up here with FEU.

01:43 We have Iggy Umandal using the blockers.

01:46 Chance here for FEU.

01:49 They're holding on to a two-point advantage.

01:52 Ducks.

01:53 Will go to Iggy Umandal.

01:56 That was the right set.

01:58 Yapau needs a different, he can't go to the left pin a lot.

02:02 Because Josh Ibanez has been checking.

02:04 So if he wants to utilize Josh Ibanez, he needs to make him go to the left pin.

02:08 You know, Drix was telling me a while ago, I asked him, "Who are you playing this game for?"

02:12 He said, "Not just for his teammates, his coaches.

02:15 Not just for his family, but the family of his teammates."

02:18 From the provinces.

02:20 Really allowing the Tamarau's to stay afloat in this match.

02:25 Great blocking from FEU.

02:28 De Vega is denied.

02:30 What a save by Prodensiado.

02:32 De Vega one more time.

02:35 Nothing yet.

02:37 Saavedra.

02:39 And they go.

02:44 The new kid on the block.

02:47 Was always there for the Golden Spikers.

02:51 That's why we like to call him, he's the unsung hero of the US.

02:54 He's been very good for FEU.

02:56 This set is far from over.

02:58 It's just 14-11.

03:00 They can still recover.

03:02 And Iggy puts it away.

03:06 If things will pan out their way.

03:08 But FEU right now, holding on to a two-point advantage.

03:13 And Banez.

03:15 De Vega will chase this one.

03:17 Good reaction from FEU.

03:20 And bodies on the floor.

03:22 Look at this.

03:25 I hope everybody's okay.

03:27 Ooh, Mendoza was still on the floor.

03:31 He's on the court right now.

03:35 One-point lead, FEU.

03:37 Benny.

03:40 Great dig by Van.

03:42 They go to Iggy.

03:44 Off the block for Iggy Omandal.

03:46 I knew he's been doing that time and time again.

03:48 Just so efficient.

03:50 FEU had to find another angle.

03:52 Even if it was a loose block from USA.

03:55 Valtteri Deciado was ready for the pickup.

03:58 Yumbao back set to Iggy.

04:06 Another off the block.

04:09 Checking in.

04:11 They go to Iggy.

04:17 What a time to come up big here for Omandal.

04:21 In the last game.

04:24 Now he is dishing out excellent hits.

04:30 All heart for these two teams.

04:33 They go to Iggy.

04:39 Iggy said, "No problem. I'll do it again."

04:42 Match point.

04:44 The load is not on the shoulders of Joshy Vaniers.

04:47 It's on the shoulders of the very young.

04:50 - I'm already young.
