00:18 >> Spectacular floor defense.

00:21 Maybe not!

00:22 Double contact, and a call against Iran.

00:24 [crowd cheering]

00:26 >> But, you know, you appreciate the defense of Iran.

00:29 Those are tough balls, but they're trying to dig it and keep the ball in play.

00:33 >> Sharma.

00:35 Pass by Shaghayegh.

00:37 For Saleh.

00:39 Off the block by Deguzman.

00:41 Gia sets it up.

00:42 Back row.

00:43 Yes!

00:43 Rondina wins again.

00:45 [crowd cheering]

00:46 >> And yet another excellent set.

00:48 We have to mention just one blocker again.

00:51 Rondina finding the angle, eluding that one blocker.

00:56 [crowd cheering]

00:58 >> Out of Compostela, Cebu.

00:59 CC Rondina.

01:01 Just still as explosive as that time she was with USD.

01:06 Nice one.

01:08 But a good pass there from Rondina.

01:10 Sets up Gantler.

01:11 Blocked.

01:12 >> Good cover.

01:13 >> Nierva, this time to Rondina.

01:14 Yes!

01:15 [crowd cheering]

01:18 >> Boy, he's taught to block her challenge, Rondina, yet she still finds that open space.

01:24 >> Super smash.

01:25 >> To throw number five.

01:27 >> Aaron.

01:29 So, Rondina Garrafi with a serve.

01:32 Nierva with a nice pass.

01:34 Rondina.

01:34 Yes!

01:36 [crowd cheering]

01:38 >> One thing Rondina's got to do is adjust their blocking technique.

01:42 They have two blockers.

01:44 >> Ladies and gentlemen, can't wait to see.

01:47 >> But it's really a matter of putting the hand over the net, kind of, by this back.

01:54 >> It's one all.

01:55 Set number two.

01:56 Dorsafala with a serve.

01:59 Back row Rondina.

02:00 [crowd cheering]

02:02 >> Two times for Dorsafala to dig up.

02:07 >> Again, one blocker.

02:08 You know, Nicos Madres was reading the defense of Iran really well, really finding or creating the opportunity for these kills.

02:21 >> And it's set point for Alas, Pilipinas.

02:24 Salamat.

02:26 >> Good stop.

02:27 >> They can put it away here.

02:28 Coronel, another option play.

02:30 Salamat with an off speed.

02:32 Coronel, this time the gander with the left hand.

02:35 Oh, saved by Salamat.

02:36 What an effort by the 23-year-old.

02:40 Nuda on a running attack.

02:43 Doug in the back row.

02:44 By Shagayeg.

02:46 >> Still alive.

02:48 >> Rondina Salamat.

02:50 >> Working well for Pilipinas.

02:57 >> Good pass considering the serve by Canino.

03:00 It's a chance ball here for Alas, Pilipinas.

03:04 Rondina against one blocker.

03:06 No match.

03:09 >> Again, that play in itself can actually summarize how Pilipinas has been playing in this match so far.

03:18 Teamwork.

03:20 >> Biggest lead for Alas, Pilipinas.

03:22 And hastily might not even begin to describe it as Rondina.

03:26 >> He's on an overpass.

03:28 >> Another point.

03:32 >> You see the frustration on the side of Team Iran.

03:37 >> Another Alas, Pilipinas player in double digits, Cicero Rondina joining Canino.

03:43 The ten.

03:45 In case you're wondering, it's a little lighter, you know.

03:47 That's a big factor also.

03:50 >> Bad pass coming from Shagayeg.

03:53 So an underhand easy over for Iran.

03:56 De Guzman.

03:57 Rondina.

03:58 >> Oh!

03:59 >> She's playing.

04:03 >> She soars like she's what, six feet whatever, but she's five feet nothing.

04:12 >> Look at this play.

04:13 >> Perfect, perfect execution.

04:17 >> So many options.

04:19 >> That's true.

04:24 >> Rondina.

04:27 Cicero Rondina makes it look effortless.

04:32 >> He's like the healthy option for Team Pilipinas.

04:36 Every time you need a point, although everyone's an option, but Cicero Rondina has been on point today.
