Entering set 4, U21 Vietnam started the game quite well, playing tit for tat with their opponents. However, the young girls of Vietnam could only maintain the rhythm until the middle of the set. Many individual mistakes appeared, causing us to be left behind by our opponents. This set ended with a score of 25-15 in favor of U21 Argentina.

Despite the defeat, it did not affect the ticket to the next round of U21 Vietnam. On a positive note, the fact that we won 1 set against U21 Argentina is also a success. In the final match of the group stage, U21 Vietnam will face U21 Puerto Rico on August 12.
