The United States and China are the world's women's volleyball powerhouses. In Group B of the 2025 U21 World Cup, they quickly showed their dominance over South Korea, Croatia, the Dominican Republic and Mexico to quickly secure a ticket to the round of 16.
The match between the two teams on the morning of August 12 was not meant to compete for a ticket to the next round, but to determine the first or second place in the group in terms of expertise. However, this match also had a lot of meaning in terms of honor between the two strongest sports in the world.
At the start of the match, both teams were ready to play an exciting and dramatic game. But then U21 China showed the high level of the defending champion with great attacks. Their tall defenders were not afraid of the girls of U21 USA.
As a result, China won 25-20 in set 1. In set 2, the Asian team continued to dominate. They not only knew how to score points but also made their opponents make mistakes with annoying plays. China continued to win overwhelmingly 25-12 in set 2.
But in set 3, the defending champions faltered and were dragged into a tense tug-of-war. In the end, they still won 28-26, thereby quickly ending the match after only 3 sets.
In this match, main attacker Zhao Zhexi was still the best scorer of U21 China. Against the not-so-aggressive blocking of U21 USA, she had 15 points, including 13 attack points, 1 block point and 1 serve point.
This victory helped U21 China finish the group stage as the top team in Group B. Along with that, their destructive form shows that it will be difficult for any opponent to overthrow them in this year's tournament.
