00:00 The top two teams in terms of spiking, squaring off.

00:05 Not the best of second balls right there.

00:09 And the first point belongs to Owele Tamar and NU.

00:11 Of Bugawan.

00:14 Obed Bukhaba, ever so efficient from the middle.

00:19 - Four setters here to really try to get their

00:22 middle involved to get that one man block.

00:25 Need to find a way to score a point.

00:29 - The lead is ballooned out to three points.

00:32 Andre Delicana rejected by Owele.

00:34 Again, that's one of the advantages of having a tall setter.

00:37 But now, Andre gets a check.

00:39 - The net defense is gonna be big for FEU.

00:42 They're off the hand of Retamar to get that.

00:44 - A chance for FEU to trim the lead down to one.

00:47 Nico Almendras with a nice receive.

00:49 How about the elevation by Jade?

00:51 But he's blocked.

00:53 Tiskitado again.

00:54 There's a check.

00:57 - This time going down the line.

00:59 Scraping the hand of Obed.

01:03 - Has a great story, a return story for FEU

01:06 because after being the star in UAP season 81,

01:09 the pandemic hit him.

01:11 Conditioning was a problem for JJ Javilona.

01:15 He wasn't in the best of conditioning after the pandemic.

01:19 Took a year off.

01:20 - He has to go to his leading scorer in Almendras.

01:24 - Receive muna.

01:25 There it is.

01:26 Nico approaches and there you go.

01:30 That's why you're an analyst.

01:31 He hasn't had an ace so far,

01:34 but NU as a team has had seven.

01:37 Kakau looks and sets to the quick.

01:41 There's a check.

01:42 - Now Tiskitado admits that

01:46 that's how important their passing is.

01:49 - Time for Gawan.

01:50 Now a part of the back row.

01:52 So it might be Lyric Mendoza as a response.

01:54 Unfortunately, the response from NU comes.

01:58 - FEU here in terms of offense.

02:02 Arringo with only one blocker.

02:04 - He serves that ball inside carefully.

02:10 And there's the approach and the block.

02:12 Good defense by FEU.

02:13 One more, Tiskitado.

02:16 Recovery.

02:17 Delicana sends it through sharply at that.

02:22 Counter for Jade.

02:25 That drops.

02:26 And NU takes set number one.

02:28 - Great display of teamwork there on the side of NU.

02:33 Lower defense and net defense

02:35 and even their offense have been lethal so far.

02:39 So FEU here really needs to make necessary adjustments

02:43 to be able to slow down a very...

02:46 - Eight to four.

02:47 Havillona sends it in.

02:50 Received by Sumagi.

02:51 Etamar to Obed.

02:53 Just towering over everybody from FEU.

02:56 - Etamar gets an opportunity to set up Mokaba.

03:01 He does because Mokaba really has the advantage

03:04 in terms of offense.

03:05 - Five to nine.

03:07 Mendoza serves.

03:08 Tiskitado receives.

03:10 Set up tight.

03:11 And that's an easy block for FEU.

03:14 - Cacao.

03:15 But Cacao is able to press his hands in.

03:20 - Rotation for them with Owa.

03:23 - On the service line.

03:24 - Right.

03:24 Obed receives.

03:27 Tough attack right there by Bugawan.

03:30 Ball over.

03:31 NU keeps it alive.

03:34 Maringo.

03:35 Rejected at the net.

03:36 NU scrambling and recovering.

03:39 Almendras gets it through.

03:40 A chance for FEU.

03:42 It's Havillona who's rejected.

03:44 Coverage was there.

03:45 Push.

03:46 Longest rally so far.

03:48 Back row.

03:49 Tiskitado.

03:49 It's low.

03:50 Taguibolos now serves.

03:53 He had an error a while ago.

03:55 That goes in.

03:56 Back set.

03:57 Saavedra with the cross.

03:59 - Now we've been starting to be the player here.

04:03 - Why not the leading scorer of the Tamaraus

04:06 with 57 entering this matchup?

04:08 - We had to ensure the safety of my partner first

04:10 before speaking.

04:12 13-11.

04:13 - Netamar set up to a Ringo.

04:15 Blocked by JJ Havillona.

04:17 - FEU.

04:19 More decisive in their execution.

04:22 - Kakao.

04:27 Oh sorry, that's Kodilya batting it out to Netamar.

04:29 Back row hit.

04:30 Hit goes in for JJ Havillona.

04:33 Had three points in the previous outing.

04:35 Ball up by Leo Ringo.

04:38 Owao opens.

04:40 Nice block by FEU.

04:42 - To make necessary adjustments and they did in this set.

04:47 - Service for Ariel Kakao

04:48 who has a full front row.

04:50 Back set to Nico.

04:52 Hole at the back row.

04:54 Good for him to deliver.

04:55 Four points now for Martin Bugawan.

05:01 Sumagi receives.

05:02 Jay.

05:04 Another point for Mr. Disketado.

05:07 Leo Ringo.

05:08 Serves that ball inside.

05:10 A good chance for FEU.

05:11 Saavedra will get the point in the set

05:15 for Far Eastern University.

05:17 We are back to square one.

05:19 Who will NU use?

05:20 - Oh that's really a good problem for NU then.

05:22 (laughing)

05:24 - Kakao.

05:24 Combination.

05:25 Nice block by Nico Almendras.

05:27 (crowd cheering)

05:30 - Only one blocker went with Bugawan.

05:33 Almendras reading that well.

05:35 A winning mindset.

05:37 - Taguibola serves.

05:39 Bryce not the best of receives.

05:41 And that's blocked.

05:42 - No and with a faulty passing.

05:46 - Beginning to be predictable here.

05:50 Of Cabo with a killed block.

05:54 It's easier time that starts from good passing.

05:57 - Still a bit of a chase for Kakao.

06:00 And there's the block.

06:01 - Again, play making.

06:05 Saavedra trying to go first for their team.

06:15 Almendras receives.

06:16 Owa to the quick.

06:17 Nope.

06:18 Good defense by Salahes.

06:20 Push for Jamel.

06:22 Saved by NU.

06:23 (crowd cheering)

06:24 Nice read right there by Leo Arringo.

06:26 - Or there to extend his arms for a tamar.

06:31 But Arringo, quick thinking.

06:33 - It's a comfortable position.

06:35 So they're allowed to make that error.

06:39 - Oh ho ho ho.

06:40 What a response.

06:42 But FU keeps it alive.

06:44 Great effort by Salahes.

06:46 One more time.

06:47 Nicole Almendras puts it away.

06:49 - To play faster in the set.

06:54 And that the speed of their offense

06:56 started to be a problem here on the side of FU.

07:01 - That ball went straight down.

07:03 They had an eight point turnaround in set number two.

07:07 Having trailed by as many as four.

07:09 And they won the set by four.

07:11 Arringo.

07:12 How about Salahes?

07:13 Keeping that ball alive again.

07:15 Codillo with the cross.

07:16 Sumagi with the dig.

07:17 Back set.

07:18 Arringo rejected.

07:20 Also made his name in the Champions League.

07:25 Actually, that's where coach Dantelion Sunurin recruited him.

07:29 As FU scores from the left pin.

07:32 I'm sure they're anticipating his presence

07:35 in the front row later on.

07:38 Owa opens up.

07:39 Almendras soaring for that ball.

07:41 Nice rejection.

07:42 Sumagi.

07:43 Back to Nico.

07:44 Tipped.

07:45 Yes, sir.

07:46 Almendras.

07:48 Ooh, the ball hit the net.

07:52 Or the tape of the net.

07:53 Leaning onto an ace.

07:55 Let's see if FU can regain its composure here.

07:59 Can't be disheartened off of that sequence.

08:03 Nice block for MU.

08:04 And that's it for set number three.

08:12 Retamar.

08:13 Back set to Arringo.

08:14 He's blocked.

08:15 Ariel Cacao will start warming up.

08:21 Let's see if they will ultimately go with that substitution

08:24 as Taguibolo's response.

08:26 He's the second top scorer of FU with 54.

08:30 And that's with a 60% attack efficiency, by the way.

08:34 As Arringo scores for MU.

08:36 Three excellent sets so far from Benny.

08:41 Back set.

08:42 Tisketado.

08:43 Hammers it home.

08:45 JJ Javelona.

08:48 He serves that ball straight to Sumagi

08:52 with a misreceive.

08:54 Approach by Leo.

08:55 There's a check.

08:56 Arringo attacking on top of the blockers.

08:59 Safe serve.

09:03 Attack for the middle.

09:06 There is the Teng Fugawan that we know.

09:09 Did you see how high up his legs were?

09:12 19-18, FU again with the lead.

09:15 Choi Diaw.

09:16 Nice dig by Fugawan.

09:19 Back set to Drix.

09:20 Down the ball goes.

09:23 Here in set number four.

09:25 The TFN you can execute here.

09:27 Owa.

09:28 To Choi.

09:29 Hole in the middle.

09:30 An easy point there, actually.

09:33 Ball out for JJ.

09:37 Drix again.

09:38 Wow.

09:39 That's Sumagi.

09:40 Counter block.

09:42 They have Drix Avedra who has to be careful there.

09:47 Serving.

09:47 Straight to Jade.

09:50 Quick attack for MU.

09:53 By the way, had six points coming off the bench

09:56 versus UST.

09:57 Javelona with the receive.

09:59 They go onto the opposite.

10:01 That looked good for Andrei Delicana.

10:04 22-20.

10:07 Etamar to the open.

10:11 Nice response by Jade Esquitado who now has 21.

10:15 And they have a middle blocker doing it.

10:17 Dirik Mendoza played it safely.

10:19 And here's Jade.

10:22 Ooh, it's tight.

10:24 It doesn't go through.

10:25 Good patience by Kakau.

10:27 And Delicana is blocked.

10:28 Taguibolo celebrates.

10:30 That's in.

10:33 Sumagi with a beautiful receive.

10:35 Back set to Jade.

10:36 That goes down.

10:38 23-24, Jade.

10:43 That's in.

10:45 Back set.

10:46 Saavedra against one blocker.

10:47 Sumagi keeping it alive.

10:49 Nico's turn.

10:51 Blocked.

10:52 That goes through.

10:53 FPU from the back.

10:55 That's a point for Andrei Delicana.

10:57 And they will send us to a set number five.

11:01 Lead is back up to three.

11:04 Benny opens up.

11:05 Delicana had to extend.

11:07 Etamar keeping it alive.

11:09 The ball goes over.

11:10 FPU chooses Saavedra.

11:14 Deflection.

11:14 Owa.

11:16 Back set to Leo.

11:17 Havillana puts it up.

11:19 Benny.

11:20 Andrei down the line.

11:21 Oh, Etamar continuing to talk to his team.

11:26 Where will he go?

11:27 It's Jade.

11:28 And that's a point for FPU.

11:32 Derek Mendoza serves that ball inside.

11:35 Almendras with the receive.

11:37 Back set.

11:38 Arringo against the blockers.

11:41 The ball hit the tape of the net.

11:42 And there's the counter.

11:43 Sumagi with the dig.

11:45 They go to Jade.

11:46 Ball deflected.

11:47 Good chance for FPU.

11:50 Bugawan will score.

11:52 Martin Teng Bugawan.

11:54 Seven-nine.

11:56 Nice receive.

11:58 Jade.

11:59 Ball dropped by Andrei.

12:01 Can they convert?

12:02 (crowd cheering)

12:03 Good effort by Sumagi.

12:04 Unfortunately, that ball went to the other side.

12:08 That's in.

12:12 Bryce receives.

12:12 Kakau.

12:14 On to JJ.

12:15 Ball put up by Arringo.

12:17 Back to Jade.

12:18 Yes, sir.

12:20 What a game for Jade Disketadon.

12:22 - Now, he's been that player for NU in today's game.

12:26 - Choi Diao serves.

12:27 JJ receives.

12:28 Back to Havillana.

12:29 And he scores.

12:31 A badly needed point by FPU.

12:33 - FPU here.

12:34 - And they capitalize.

12:35 Kakau serves it in.

12:37 Here's Jade.

12:38 Ball sent back.

12:40 The lead is one.

12:41 - Three blockers in front of Disketadon.

12:45 - Served by JJ.

12:48 - Out of system.

12:49 - Back set to Jade.

12:51 Over the blockers.

12:52 Chased by Bryce.

12:53 And here's Trix.

12:55 That goes down.

12:57 - They make their biggest statement in the season so far.

13:01 Retamar.

13:02 On to Jade.

13:03 Retribution for Jade Disketadon.

13:07 29 points for the rookie.

13:10 Ball up for FPU.

13:12 They send it to the open.

13:14 Pelicana responds.

13:15 The rookie on the other end.

13:17 This game has boiled down onto a virtual race to two.

13:21 Sumagi.

13:22 Retamar.

13:23 Nico in front.

13:25 He will score.

13:27 - First appearance, first serve.

13:30 And it's for the match.

13:31 Received by Bryce.

13:32 FPU opens up.

13:34 And there's a check.

13:35 It's also in.

13:36 And we have Leo Arringo doing the honors

13:39 on the service line.

13:40 That is out.

13:42 Now it's Andre Delicana serving to break the deadlock.

13:47 Ball up for Jade.

13:49 And here's Nicol Mendez.

13:50 Rejected.

13:53 - That was well read by Mendoza.

13:57 - Ball in for Delicana.

14:00 Retamar.

14:01 Nico again.

14:02 Another block.

14:03 Good coverage.

14:04 Back to Almendras.

14:05 And he gets the point.

14:08 17-16.

14:10 Nico Almendras.

14:12 Back at it.

14:13 He sends the ball in.

14:15 Received by JJ.

14:16 Jabilona.

14:17 Ball up by Nico.

14:19 A chance for NU.

14:20 It's their top scorer.

14:22 Dive.

14:24 And it's saved.

14:25 We shall continue.

14:26 O-wa will go to Joy Deo.

14:29 And that's it.

14:31 NU hands FPU its first loss of the season.
