WARSAW, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Title holder the United States claimed its second victory at the FIVB Men's World Cup in Japan on Friday, beating Poland 25-19, 25-20, 24-26, 27-25.
Poland that has started with two straight wins over Tunisia and host Japan, failed this time to show their masterclass in the match against the Americans.
Matthew Anderson led the reigning champion with a match-high 23 points, while Wilfredo Leon scored just two points less in the rather tough match.
"It was another great match between the USA and Poland. They are deep and well-coached. We served well in the first and second sets, then we started missing. It is always just one or two points that make the difference against Poland. Tonight we got it," said the U.S. head coach John Speraw.
After three matches, the U.S. leads the table with seven points, one ahead of Poland. On Saturday, the USA faces Japan while Poland plays Argentina. Enditem
