| Nov.20 - Argentina rallied2 back from one set down to beat China 3-2, receiving their first victory in the men's volleyball World Championships in Saitama, Japan on Sunday.
Argentina, who lost to Purto Rico and Poland in the previous matches, defeated China 22-25, 25-21, 17-25, 25-17, 17-15 in one hour and 44 minutes.
Due to a slow start and a string of unforced errors, Argentina lost the first set 25-22, but controlled the rhythm3 of the second set, pulling it back 25-21.
In the third set, China took the early leads 8-6 and 16-13 before presenting a world-class performance with a 9-3 run to finish the set 25-16.
Argentina, who ranked sixth in the 2002 World Championship, soon geared4 up in the fourth set to overwhelm5 China totally and forced the match into the decider with a 25-17 win.
Both sides fought fiercely and the fifth set became a tit-for-tat battlefield till 15-all before Gaston Giani scored the last two winning points for Argentina for the great comeback victory.
China will play Egypt on Tuesday, while Argentina fights against host Japan.
