Star outside hitter Wilfredo Leon led Poland in a one-sided first set with as many as 11 points as the silver medalists of the previous edition took the lead in the match. Riding the momentum, Poland stormed into a 6-1 lead in set two and kept it up through 14-9, when Czechia started their gradual comeback. Outside Lukas Vasina led the way in this turnaround. Finally, he spiked a kill to bring in set point and spiked another one to convert it and level the match. Vasina continued to excel in Czechia’s offense in set three and, despite the many unforced errors they made, his team managed to wipe out a four-point Polish lead to catch up at 20-20. However, Polish sub-in middle blocker Szymon Jakubiszak was playing a fantastic set. With two points in a row, he brought in set point at 24-21. Shortly after, Leon put away the winning touch to put Poland in front again. Czechia tried keeping the fight up in set four, but after 7-7, Poland broke away and never looked back, finishing the job with a 3-1 (25-18, 23-25, 25-22, 25-21) victory.
