Chinese Taipei is no stranger to the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, as the two teams recently met at the AVC Nations Cup. And just like the previous meeting, the superior strength of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students continued to be clearly demonstrated.

Right from the start of the match, Bich Tuyen and Thanh Thuy's powerful smashes continuously penetrated the opponent's defense. Chinese Taipei could only score points thanks to their drop shots into the open space, but this style of play was quickly neutralized. The Vietnamese girls easily won the first set with a score of 25-13.
In set 2, Chinese Taipei played more adventurously and made it difficult for Vietnam, with the score tied at 14-14. However, having figured out their opponent's tactics, Vietnam pulled away and closed the set with a score of 25-19.
Set 3 continued to be dominated by the home team, as Chinese Taipei gradually lost steam, losing 16-25. Winning 3-0 (25-13, 25-19, 25-16), coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team will face Koralbelka Club in the final at 7:30 p.m. on July 5.
