Without their main striker Megawati Hangestri due to her professional career in Korea, the Indonesian team is no longer themselves at the tournament for the top 4 women's teams in Southeast Asia taking place in Vinh Phuc City, Vietnam.
Tra Giang and Kieu Trinh blocked the ball effectively against Indonesia
With a certain excitement after the opening match victory over the Philippines, the Vietnamese women's team played very well when they took the field against Indonesia on the evening of August 5. It only took 27 minutes for coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team to win 25-20 in the first set and in the same time, the home team continued to win the second set with a score difference of 25-17.
Vietnam team easily won the opening two games
At this point, Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet decided to make some personnel changes by adding Nhu Quynh and Ly Thi Luyen to the field. The two new faces played well, but the whole team showed signs of instability, creating an opportunity for Indonesia to take the lead and maintain this position to end the third game with a 25-23 victory, shortening the score to 1-2 after three games.
Indonesia narrowed the gap to 1-2 after three games.
A few adjustments in the short time between the third and fourth games by the Vietnamese team's coaching staff helped the players play more smoothly. The very high scoring efficiency of the duo Thanh Thuy - Kieu Trinh once again came into play and the Vietnamese team ended the game with a score of 25-18, closing the second match of the SEA V-League 2023 with a 3-1 victory after 128 minutes of competition.
Vietnam team won 3-1 overall
The victory delighted nearly 3,000 spectators at Vinh Phuc Provincial Stadium
Because in the previous match, the Thai team beat the Philippines 3-0 (25-19, 25-7, 25-17), the direct confrontation on the evening of August 6 between the Vietnamese and Thai teams - both winning both matches - has the same meaning as the final match of the first stage of the SEA V-League 2023.
Thailand easily defeated Philippines with three games to spare.
Thailand is at world class so finding a victory against this powerful neighbor is harder than "picking stars from the sky". However, fans still have the right to expect a fair and attractive competition between two of the region's top teams.
