Argentina kept their 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship campaign on track with a 3-1 win over Korea.
The South Americans, who had already been tested in their five-set opener against Finland, once again dropped a set but ultimately proved too strong, sealing the match 25-22, 23-25, 25-21, 25-18. The result lifts Argentina to five points in Pool C, leaving them on the verge of a Round of 16 berth.
Pablo Kukartsev powered the charge with a match-high 21 points – including 16 kills, three blocks, and two aces. Outside hitter Luciano Vicentín was close behind on 20 points, while Luciano Palonsky chipped in 12.
For Korea, Heo Subong shone with 17 points, while Im Donghyeok added 15.
Korea, winless after two matches, are now out of contention for the elimination rounds. Argentina, meanwhile, can secure qualification if France defeats Finland today.
