Going into the final match, both Vietnam and Kenya were out of chances to advance. The goal of both teams was to seek an honorable victory before saying goodbye to the tournament. The first set was a tense affair, with both teams constantly chasing points. However, at the decisive moment, the Vietnamese team lost by a narrow margin of 23-25.

In the second set, the same scenario repeated itself. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's players tried their best but were still better taken advantage of by their opponents in the first-step and sideline attacks, thereby accepting a 22-25 defeat.

The third set saw a positive start from Vietnam as they took an early lead. However, a lack of consistency in the second set and ineffective blocking caused Kenya to come back and win 25-18, ending the match with a score of 3-0.

At the end of the group stage, the Vietnamese women's team lost all three matches, did not gain any points and left the tournament early. However, the valuable experiences from the world-class playground are expected to help coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students accumulate more experience for upcoming tournaments.
