A Back-and-Forth Battle in Ningbo
The match, held in China's Ningbo, didn't go entirely Poland's way from the start. The white-and-red side edged out the opening set 25-22, only for Ukraine to hit back immediately, flipping that exact scoreline to level things up at one set apiece. From there, though, Poland found their rhythm and took control, closing out the match with comfortable wins in the third and fourth sets, 25-20 and 25-17 respectively.

Poland Eyes Another Title Run
The result caps off a strong qualifying stretch for Poland, who finished second in the group standings with an impressive record of 10 wins against just two losses. Ukraine, meanwhile, can still be proud of their run - they reached the knock-out stage for the very first time in the competition's history, finishing with a 7-5 record.

As the reigning Nations League champions, Poland will now look to defend their crown, and their next challenge comes against Slovenia on Saturday morning. Slovenia earned their spot in the semi-finals after defeating Turkey on Wednesday.
