Set 1: Ninh Binh 18-25 BCTT
LPB Ninh Binh quickly felt the difficulty without the presence of Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen – a key player in recent seasons. Losing this major offensive weapon significantly reduced LPB Ninh Binh’s attacking power, struggling against Thong Tin - Dong Bac’s tight defense.
For the military team, under coach Pham Van Long’s leadership, continuous progress was evident, especially in the first set. BCTT gradually extended the lead to take the set 25-18 and lead 1-0.

The home team attacked more effectively and built a large lead early on. With the situation beyond saving, BCTT seemed to focus on the next set, conceding a heavy loss in set 2 to LPB Ninh Binh.
Set 3: Ninh Binh 15-25 BCTT
Set 3 saw Thong Tin - Dong Bac repay the debt from the previous set against LPB Ninh Binh. Coach Pham Van Long’s team regained control and dominance, breaking through the opponent’s quality blockers and winning the crucial set 25-15.
Nguyen Thi Trinh playing as opposite hitter instead of Bich Tuyen was likely an emergency choice by coach Thai Thanh Tung, who had no other opposites available. Although she has experience in this position, "Trinh Dien" could not fully carry the team’s scoring responsibilities.
