Ngoc Hoa unexpectedly returned to help Long An Club defeat the Information Corps team.

Having been transferred to coaching for quite a long time, but due to the lack of staff, at the last minute, VTV Binh Dien Long An team decided to register Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa to join the list of athletes participating in the second phase of the national volleyball championship taking place in Lao Cai. At the age of 37, the former No. 1 hitter of Vietnam still promoted her ability, especially her experience and bravery, leading her juniors to defeat a formidable opponent, the Binh Phuoc School of Information Service Club in the match that took place last night (November 8).

Ngoc Hoa (9, yellow shirt) with clever ball handling helped VTV Binh Dien Long An Club defeat the Information Corps team of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.

Due to her lack of physical strength, Ngoc Hoa was flexibly used by coach Thai Quang Lai, entering the field at important moments. German-French foreign player Joyce Agbolossou played quite well alongside the youthful energy of Tra My, helping VTV Binh Dien Long An create a surprise with 2 consecutive wins, taking a 2-0 lead over the Information Corps Club of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.

The poor performance of the players of the Binh Phuoc School of Information Club such as Lam Oanh, Kieu Trinh, Pham Thi Hien caused the team to give too many balls to foreign player Jana Kulan (Azerbajian) and was "read out" by the opponent. Therefore, it was not until the 3rd game that the Information girls played effectively, winning, thereby reducing the score to 1-2. Creating an exciting chase in the 4th game, but the players of VTV Binh Dien Long An team, with Ngoc Hoa's experience brought into play and improved defensive ability, rose to win 3-1 in the end.

Foreign player Jana Kulan could not help the Binh Phuoc School of Information Corps Club defeat the VTV Binh Dien Long An team.

With this victory, the ticket to the final round of the championship is considered within reach of VTV Binh Dien Long An Club. Meanwhile, the girls of the Information Corps team of Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc have a hard time when the last match has to face the defending champion LPBank Ninh Binh.

Today, the next 3 matches of the 2nd phase of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship take place between the Industrial and Commercial Bank Club and Thanh Hoa (2:00 p.m.), Duc Giang Chemical Club and LPBank Ninh Binh Club (5:00 p.m.), and Hanoi and Quang Ninh (8:00 p.m.).
