Beating the Philippines, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team leads the table at VTV Cup

(NLDO) – Meeting the Philippines again a few weeks after the AVC Nations Cup final, the Vietnamese team easily defeated their opponents with three straight wins, consolidating their top position in Group A of the VTV Cup.

Compared to the encounter at the AVC Nations Cup final a month ago in Hanoi , the Philippines team is missing a series of key players such as Alyssa Solomon, Fifi Sharma, Bella Belen... Therefore, it is not difficult to predict that coach Jorge Edson's team will have a hard time facing the Vietnamese team with a strong force, and will play in front of the cheers of a large home audience...

Vietnam team started the match slowly, at times the Philippines caught up and surpassed them.

The Vietnamese team entered the match confidently and took the lead in the first minutes of the match. However, the Philippines quickly counterattacked, gradually leveling the gap and even dominating the home team at times. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet had to use his right to consult to adjust the playing style of the Vietnamese team, thanks to which the situation improved significantly.

The Vietnamese team continuously scored points and pulled away to create a safe distance before ending the first game with a score of 25-20.

In the second game, the home team dominated the game, leaving their opponents far behind in points thanks to the brilliant performance of the attacking duo Bich Tuyen - Bich Thuy. The Philippines quickly gave up in this game and lost with a score of 21-25.

Vietnam team took advantage of the victory and won all three games.

Entering the decisive game, the Vietnamese team maintained a stable playing style, always creating a gap of a few points compared to the Philippines. Bich Tuyen was still the most notable face of the match and she put an end to the third game with a powerful smash.

In the end, the Vietnamese team defeated the Philippines with a score of 3-0, consolidating the top position in Group A with the second consecutive victory (the first match was a 3-0 win over Australia).

Meanwhile, with the same inconsistent playing style and very unlucky, the U21 Vietnam team accepted a 1-3 defeat against the Thai Youth team. In the opening match of Group B , the team lost 0-3 to Chinese Taipei. We cannot expect any miracles for this young team when they face the defending champion Korabelka (Russia) in the final match.
