Set 1: Vietnam 18-25 Indonesia

It was hard to believe that the Vietnam women's volleyball team had such a poor set despite fielding their strongest lineup, with Tran Thi Thanh Thuy making her first start at this year's AVC Cup. Indonesia appeared to have closely watched and studied our playing style, excelling in both attack and defense.

Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet tried to salvage the situation with personnel adjustments late in the set, but they had little effect. Indonesia surprisingly took a 1-0 lead.

Set 2: Vietnam 25-22 Indonesia

It was not a great set for Vietnam, but at least they capitalized on opportunities to level the match. Indonesia still defended well, but this time their attack was less sharp than in set one. For Vietnam, Thanh Thuy struggled as she had to handle both the first touch and attack in the same play, but contributions from Bich Thuy and Nhu Anh helped Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's side make a difference.

Set 3: Vietnam 25-18 Indonesia

The Vietnam women's volleyball team returned to near their best form, restoring order in the match. Indonesia was no longer flying as in the previous two sets, making more errors as Vietnam reorganized and increased pressure. Thanh Thuy, Vi Quynh, Nguyen Uyen, and Nhu Anh all stepped up to help the defending AVC Cup champions extend the lead, moving the match to 2-1.

Set 4: Vietnam 19-25 Indonesia

It seemed that two consecutive set wins would lift the players' spirits with hopes of finishing in four sets, but Vietnam faced great difficulty against Indonesia's high determination. We also made unnecessary mistakes: Kim Thoa's setting was unstable, Khanh Dang was not in her best playing form, and so on.

Credit must be given to Indonesia's very alert blocking. The team from the archipelago defended consistently; even when Bich Thuy ran a fake block, there were still two players ready to deal with Thanh Thuy on the opposite side. The match would go to a decisive fifth set.

Set 5: Vietnam 15-13 Indonesia

Even in the fifth set, the Vietnam women's volleyball team managed to make fans' hearts race. They led 10-5 with textbook combinations, but an unbelievable scenario unfolded as Indonesia tied it 10-10 and chased them closely to the final point. Fortunately, no surprise occurred.

In the end, Vietnam defeated Indonesia 3-2 (18-25; 25-22; 25-18; 19-25; 15-13).
