00:00 So that's a good context to put for our viewers.
00:04 We know that the Chargers can challenge the crossovers as we begin the matchup.
00:09 Yeah, getting her first attempt.
00:13 Cobb sets up Nisperos.
00:15 Dug up by Bikar.
00:17 Nierva will pump it to Galang and that will be the first point of the match.
00:22 And Ara Galang is parting us off with a point.
00:28 Cobb goes to Sharma.
00:30 And we've talked about her and how she has been delivering for the young Akari squad.
00:36 Of course, the luck of Chary Tigo here in Santa Rosa as they got that win against
00:42 Kremlin. Let's see if they will be able to do the same thing here against Akari.
00:48 Meanwhile, off-speed works for Santiago Manabal.
00:51 It could be something good for them later on.
00:57 Cobb back sets,
00:58 Binalik kay Madrigal, this time it drops.
01:01 Just putting that one over.
01:03 You like that Cobb went back to her, you know, despite that.
01:07 Smarting them on that one.
01:09 Lead now is with the crossovers, 10 to 9.
01:15 They're trying to add to that.
01:17 And Ian Laure will score.
01:20 Power or ball control over her attacking.
01:25 Cobb chooses Dindin.
01:27 And solid block coming from Ian Laure.
01:30 The momentum, because the timeout was just called.
01:33 That's true.
01:34 Not how you want to respond after that huddle.
01:37 Sharma with the hang time does not work.
01:41 Back with the chargers.
01:43 Here comes Dindin.
01:44 Galang with a save.
01:47 Eya, that drops.
01:52 Inside the venue, always nice to have the games here over in Santa Rosa.
01:58 True.
01:59 Always showing up.
02:01 As Nesperos serves.
02:04 Good dig by Pineda,
02:09 Nai Balik.
02:10 Marano with a running spike.
02:13 Abby Marano with a classic down the line attack, running attack.
02:18 And this spike of a service brought to you by Duncan.
02:22 Pasalubong ng bayan.
02:23 Good serve for Galang.
02:30 Solton is on the approach.
02:33 Good dig by Nierva.
02:34 Eya will set up the play to her sister.
02:37 And EJ will take care of it.
02:39 She is the second leading scorer for this Akari team,
02:43 right behind Dindin Santiago Manabat.
02:46 Easy point.
02:49 So far, take a look at this one-hand set of Navarro to Abby Marano.
02:53 No support there in the front.
02:54 14 serving 19 here in the opening set.
02:57 Paat announces her entry.
03:05 For the crossovers.
03:10 Maraginot goes to Sharma, denied by Lauri.
03:18 Let's see if they will respond well after that timeout.
03:21 Down by seven points.
03:22 Maraginot goes to Santiago Manabat.
03:25 Dug up by Robles.
03:27 The bump by Nabor to Lauri.
03:29 And it drops.
03:31 Now close to end this set.
03:34 15 to 22.
03:36 Pinuntahan si Karandang, read perfectly
03:39 by the tall blockers of the Chargers.
03:42 And Bikar will serve for the crossovers.
03:48 Sharma, unable to get that one.
03:51 Tight set.
03:52 Chance here for the Chargers.
03:54 Dja Dja to Faith.
03:55 Naiyangat ni Lauri.
03:58 The other Lauri will attack and score.
04:02 Really smooth transition plays.
04:06 Everyone connecting, everyone got the leading points.
04:09 Eyan Lauri with another...
04:10 Explain nian, but first, they need to get a good first ball.
04:15 Bikar on a combination to Galang.
04:18 At siguro yun, number one on this final play.
04:23 Combination play there.
04:25 And Galang was taking advantage of the gap in between the blockers.
04:30 Dja Dja Maraginot.
04:31 Yeah, she came in midway nung set one, talking about Maraginot.
04:35 Ito namang si Raga seeing action for the first time.
04:42 Seven to one is the score.
04:45 Finally a point.
04:49 And this is what Akari needs again, the activation of the middles.
04:53 This is what worked for them at the start of the set.
04:56 Now if it works, you can just continue to organize very cohesive in almost all the rallies.
05:02 So truly, Akari needs to put in more effort.
05:07 Set back.
05:09 Set back.
05:10 Soltan is able to get a touch on it, but on the second block, hindi na nakuha.
05:16 Offense to defense of Abby Maraño.
05:19 Reads that the Pait Nesteros attacks so well.
05:23 No coverage.
05:24 And the second attempt...
05:25 Nakailang catwalk na si Abby Maraño dito ah.
05:28 May stat din tayo for that one.
05:30 A good job from Madrigal.
05:32 Madrigal, definitely the bright spot here for the Akari Chargers.
05:36 Six points now for Ezra.
05:39 The Akari scorers.
05:41 Nesperos on the approach.
05:50 Good save by Alaurie.
05:52 Galang.
05:53 Backed up by Iqab.
05:55 Nesperos again.
05:57 Third try for the Chargers this time.
06:01 Soltanis.
06:02 Still nothing.
06:04 Galang will try with the drop.
06:06 Then it drops.
06:08 Defense of the Akari Chargers.
06:12 Take a look at this ball control of Ara Galang.
06:15 Just tipping that one over.
06:17 She doesn't even need to power it.
06:19 Inabasa lang niya yung depensa ng Akari.
06:22 From three points in set number one, she now has three.
06:26 At the start of this set two.
06:29 Nesperos trying to do the same.
06:32 And Ara colliding.
06:34 Sumobra.
06:35 A regalo for Abby Marano.
06:38 Short serve.
06:48 Marano.
06:50 Oh, solid block.
06:52 Coming from Erica Ragas.
06:56 Also been a good adjustment on the side of the Akari Chargers.
07:01 Closing down.
07:02 Have this much of a big lead.
07:05 Back up by seven.
07:07 Max Huanco now.
07:09 The libero for the Chargers.
07:11 Nabor.
07:13 Goes to Pat.
07:15 And Mylene will score once again.
07:18 Back to back points for her.
07:21 And we've talked about the attackers and the crossovers.
07:25 But the offense smoothly for the crossovers.
07:29 Cub.
07:30 Sets up Ragas on the drop.
07:33 This is a ten point gap.
07:38 It's received by Niaiva.
07:42 Oh, but it ends up as a point.
07:45 With Robles setting the play.
07:48 It wasn't even a power hit coming from Ador Ador.
07:51 She just pinned that one over and targeted a zone on the side of Akari Chargers.
07:57 Oh, Akari Chargers.
07:59 Better first ball.
08:03 Combination dug up by Faith.
08:06 The save coming from Huanco.
08:10 Play continues.
08:12 The set up to Robles and the big block for Michelle Cub.
08:17 Cub to Sharma.
08:24 That drops for Fifi.
08:27 Sharma blocks.
08:28 And it lands.
08:30 Marciano gets it back. Cub on the one-two.
08:38 Saved by Niaiva.
08:40 Off speed. Still got it back.
08:43 Robles will try.
08:45 And another rejection for Cub.
08:48 16 serving 23.
08:55 Kept alive by the crossovers.
08:57 Chance for the Chargers.
08:59 Oh, Huanco apologizes for that one.
09:01 But no problem as the blocking continues for the Chargers.
09:06 Sharma has to serve flawlessly.
09:10 Galang.
09:13 Cub.
09:15 Inangat.
09:17 It's back with the crossovers.
09:19 Robles looking to end it.
09:21 And she ends it with a powerful hit.
09:25 We still have Signal vs. PLDT.
09:27 But the focus of Cheritigo is to win.
09:32 And improve their record in hopes of entering the semifinals.
09:38 And Ana Galang.
09:40 Fielding in different sets of players.
09:43 Making it difficult for Akari to read them.
09:46 But activation from the middle from the Chargers there.
09:50 Very effective.
09:53 And a very good finish for Sharma with that a quick attack.
09:55 Understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses.
09:58 Analyzing how to complement one another.
10:00 And fitting all these pieces of their puzzle together.
10:02 Are there secrets to this dream that they are enjoying?
10:05 Will Cheri snatch yet another straight set win?
10:08 Or will Akari have another surprise run?
10:10 That will change the narrative of this game.
10:12 We'll have to see.
10:14 Now this report is brought to you by the Philippines Live App.
10:16 Where you can watch exciting news.
10:18 Went through a sort of rebuilding stage.
10:21 And the players from the collegiate ranks came in.
10:24 But they stayed patient.
10:26 And as Kayla said, they're reaping the benefits right now.
10:28 And again, you know when they started the season.
10:31 The conference, there were some doubts also.
10:34 Because individually they're so good.
10:36 But collectively, they're not able to translate that one.
10:39 And that's what Kayla pointed out earlier.
10:41 But right now, definitely they are a collective threat.
10:44 With a five game winning streak.
10:47 Oh, what a block coming from Ana Galang.
10:50 Denying Esperos.
10:52 Easy over.
11:01 Vicar.
11:03 Joust won by Alina Vicar over Madrigal.
11:07 Captain Abby Marano serving 10-7.
11:11 Ragas will go up.
11:14 And down it goes for Erica Ragas on the cross court hit.
11:19 It's not the same big of a gap as it was in the second set.
11:22 Good serve there, Galang.
11:24 Sent back by Ragas.
11:27 Karandang.
11:29 Check by Madrigal.
11:31 On the third try, wala pa rin.
11:33 Akai playing solid net defense.
11:36 And so does Cheri Tigo with A. Alaure.
11:40 Akai needs right now, they need to go over.
11:43 Because Cheri Tigo is having a better blocking technique.
11:48 Better blocking performance.
11:49 And regalo for EJ Alaure who punches that through.
11:55 Down by just two points.
11:58 Meanwhile, Eya, the summer slayer, has 10 points to her name.
12:05 Esperos trying to do what Max Wako did in the previous set.
12:11 And cover.
12:13 Another important game.
12:17 And Karandang hits it off the block.
12:20 Jaime Hernandez for Cheri Tigo is still recovering from her injury.
12:26 A lot of individual good talents.
12:31 We're yet to see.
12:33 Here it is again, maybe the blocking of Akai.
12:37 We're getting caught here, Aiel.
12:45 It's getting mixed up, vlog and PBS.
12:48 There are a lot of games, right?
12:50 Meanwhile, Cheri Tigo answering back.
12:54 18 to 12.
12:57 Here in the third set, Cobb will set up the play to Esperos.
13:03 Clean hit coming from Faith.
13:11 The car feeds Gaston and quickly makes an impact.
13:17 19 serving 13, Galang with 9 points.
13:22 Wanko will be the one to set it up.
13:25 Laure to EJ, kept alive.
13:32 Erica with a push, Eya will set it up.
13:36 Fahad, setback.
13:40 Another chance for the crossovers.
13:42 And Fahad will take the point off the block.
13:46 In straight sets.
13:49 Good serve.
13:52 Chance ball.
13:54 Buding to Nabor to Eya.
13:58 22 to 14.
14:07 Soltanis will go to Raagas on the off speed.
14:10 Easily picked up by Robles.
14:12 Fahad down the line and the score for Mailead.
14:16 Robles will serve.
14:20 Raagas, able to save one.
14:25 But despite that, she is the number two scorer right now.
14:30 That's inside for Akari.
14:35 Face signal right after this.
14:37 Let's see what Cheritigo will do.
14:40 They go to Gaston.
14:42 Chance here for the crossovers.
14:45 Eya, that's inside for Laure.
14:49 And finally it ends.
14:51 So that's way in.
14:53 Clearly in for Eya Laure.
