Argentina, the winner of the Olympic bronze in Tokyo, is now on the verge of elimination from the tournament after suffering the second five-set setback. Bruno Lima and Luciano Vicentín top-scored Argentina with 17 points each, with the latter who added 4 blocks, just like his teammate Nicolás Zerba.

After prevailing over Argentina in the first day in a match that was referred to as the battle for supremacy in the pool, the Western Asian side was to face the easiest rivals on paper.
