The second match (GAME 2) of the 2026-27 Daido Life SV.LEAGUE (Osaka home game) was held on Sunday, November 1st, at Asue Arena Osaka, where OSAKA BLUTEON faced off against the Wolfdogs Nagoya.

[Set 1]
From the start, Nishida calmly scored with spikes, and with Nishikawa and Kai carefully reading the opponent's movements to stop their attacks with blocks, the team played well.
However, errors piled up for Bluteon following the opponent's serves, leading to a 6-10 deficit and a timeout.
Kai scored with a powerful spike, and Nishida also regained momentum with sharp spikes.
Evade-Dan and Nishikawa's quick attacks also functioned effectively, but the team struggled against the opponent's high-precision blocking and defense, unable to find a rhythm as the set approached its final stages.
In the closing moments, the team rallied to 18-20 thanks to a service ace from Nishida, but they could not catch up and dropped the set 20-25.

[Set 2]
After gaining momentum by getting touches on blocks and transitioning from block coverage, Tomita scored consecutive spikes.
With the game remaining close, the team stayed persistent to build a 10-8 lead, then scored consecutive points with service aces from Evade-Dan and Tomita. As the set neared its end, Brizard scored a spike after a rally to make it 19-15.
In the final stages, the team added points through spikes from Kai and Nishida, but they were troubled by the opponent's serves and called a timeout after conceding a break.
Tomita scored an attack off his own reception to make it 23-20, and after Nishida's block secured set point at 24-20, Brizard finished the set with a service ace to take it 25-20.

[Set 3]
The team found their rhythm early on with a service ace from Nishida and scored consecutive points off Kai's serve. Additionally, Nishida's defense and spikes ignited, allowing Bluteon to display their signature style of play.
Continuing to pile on points with a service ace from Brizard and powerful spikes from Nishida, the momentum did not stop, leading to a 13-5 lead and an opponent timeout.
Maintaining a high level of play through the middle of the set, the team responded well to the opponent's serves and steadily added points, eventually taking the set 25-13 with a block from Nishikawa.

[Set 4]
From the beginning, both teams engaged in spirited play with neither side letting the ball drop, but Bluteon succeeded in building a 6-3 lead through a feint and a block by Kai.
Furthermore, the defense centered around libero Yamamoto functioned well, leading to an 8-4 advantage and an opponent timeout.
Bluteon continued to have all players actively participate in defense and attack. They maintained the upper hand with plays like a service ace from Brizard.
Without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack, they fought through to the end, taking the set 25-16 and securing a 3-1 victory.

Post-match comments from Head Coach Tuomas Sammelvuo

Tuomas Sammelvuo
Right now, I feel very happy. In the first set, we were still in the flow of the loss from Game 1 and there were still areas to improve, but from the second set onwards, we were able to play consistently throughout. I am truly happy that we were able to win until the very end.
Also, I am happy to be able to play in a packed home game in Osaka, and all the players are happy to be able to play in this atmosphere.
The season is long, so I hope everyone will continue to come to our home and away games, receive our energy, and enjoy the volleyball.
Thank you very much.

Comments from Larry Ik Evbade-Dan after the match

Larry Ik Evbade-Dan
The best part is that we were able to clear the issues that arose in Game 1. We were able to improve things like our serve efficiency, jumping with three players for blocks, and how we handle chance balls.
I think we have grasped how to exert our strength, so I want to continue doing what we need to do and work hard to show you good volleyball.
Thank you very much for all your support.
