Argentina
Argentina are marching to the quarterfinals. They are very close after today’s win over the Olympic champions.
The team from South America opened match much better and won the first set, but in the second set we saw a comeback of Russia to tie the score.
In the third, Argentina were dominating to take the lead again. Russia started much better in the fourth, having five-point lead but Velasco side simply didn’t want to play tie-break and they made huge comeback to take the win!
