The Canadian men's volleyball team lost 3-1 to Argentina in its second game of Week 2 in Volleyball Nations League play at Ottawa's TD Place on Thursday.

Canada tied the match at one set each after winning the second frame by a narrow 25-22 score, but lost the next two 25-21 and 25-20. The Canadians lost the opening set by the widest margin of the match, 25-18.

Canada finished with more attacks than Argentina (53-51) but lost in blocks (11-6), digs (48-46) and errors (30-23).

The loss comes two days after the host team beat Cuba by the same score on Tuesday to open its series of matches in the nation's capital.

Canada will play twice on the weekend to finish off its Week 2 homestand — first with the United States on Saturday and then Serbia on Sunday.

The team has already qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
