Beating Indonesia in a 'breathtaking' victory, the Vietnamese team was crowned champions of the Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup.

In the most recent encounter in the semi-finals of women's volleyball at the 32nd SEA Games, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team won 3-2 against Indonesia and this rematch was also full of drama.

Facing a formidable opponent, Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet fielded what was considered the optimal lineup, including Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Tran Tu Linh, setter Doan Thi Lam Oanh, libero Nguyen Thi Kim Lien, and hitters Dinh Thi Tra Giang, Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh, and Nguyen Thi Trinh.

With no way back, Tran Thi Thanh Thuy and the Vietnamese women's volleyball team were determined to overcome difficulties, winning 25/20 in game four, equalizing the score 2-2, bringing the final match into the decisive 5th game.
