The team from Russia showed good preparation when facing the Vietnamese team in the final. In addition to promoting the ability to attack at high altitude thanks to the ideal height of the hitters, the players of Korabelka Club also put pressure right from the serve, exploiting the weakness in the ability to catch the first step of the Vietnamese team. The bravery of Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen and their teammates was brought into play, helping the Vietnamese team create an attractive "tit for tat" attacking game with Korabelka Club. The Vietnamese team and Korabelka Club created a fierce chase for points. The hitters from Russia played explosively at the crucial moment at the end of the first set, thereby rising to win 25/19.

The Korabelka players dominated the second set, effectively exploiting the weaknesses in the first and defensive phases of the Vietnamese team. Being on the defensive made the Vietnamese women's volleyball team unable to launch a good attack. Bich Tuyen and Thanh Thuy also failed to perform effectively when they had the opportunity to attack, being blocked many times by the Korabekla Club's blockers. Therefore, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team lost to Korabelka Club with a difference of 14/25 in the second set.
With no way back, the Vietnamese team put all their efforts into the decisive game 3 and had a good start. However, Korabelka Club established an equilibrium and then rose to create a 4-point gap (20/16). The risk of losing 0-3 was present in the final match, but coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's students unexpectedly rose up with a series of consecutive points scored by Bich Tuyen, thereby rising to win 25/23, narrowing the score to 1-2. High spirits helped Bich Tuyen and the Vietnamese team play explosively in game 4, winning 25/20, equalizing the score 2-2 against Korabelka Club.

Korabelka Club successfully chased after, equalizing 12/12 but Bich Tuyen shined alone to help the Vietnamese team equalize 13/13, 14/14, 15/15, 16/16, 17/17, 18/18.
