With excellent performances throughout the tournament, both VTV Binh Dien Long An and Zhetysu deserve to be the teams in the final match.
Zhetysu proved the team's class by not losing any set before entering the final match.
In fact, the Kazakhstan representative soon showed very good form with comprehensive offense and defense. The four attackers Nikitina, Denysova, Dymar and Borisenko all performed excellently, scoring 7, 4, 4 and 4 points respectively.
Meanwhile, VTV Binh Dien Long An entered the first set with signs of psychological stress when continuously making mistakes in the first step, especially Natalia Lijewska. This foreign player alone made 4 mistakes in the first set, causing the Vietnamese representative to quickly accept defeat 14-25.
That was also the reason why coach Thai Quang Lai withdrew this 23-year-old foreign player from the field. Since then, VTV Binh Dien Long An has improved in the second set.
The biggest mark belonged to Thanh Thuy with her continuous smashes on the 4th sideline, making the opponent's blockers frustrated. This captain alone brought home 12 points to help Long An win 25-20 to level the set 1-1.
Thanh Thuy's high performance continued in set 3, helping VTV Binh Dien Long An maintain a safe point gap against the opponent.
However, in the second half of the set, the physical strength of the girls in white started to decline. Although Zhetysu continuously made mistakes, the important blocks of this team helped them regain control of the game and accelerate to win by a close margin of 25-23.
Scoring 22 points in just the first 3 sets showed Thanh Thuy's great form. However, giving too many balls to the captain wearing the number 3 jersey resulted in her showing signs of fatigue in set 4.
Thanh Thuy's finishing performance began to decline while the remaining attackers could not replace her.
This was also the time when Zhetysu's blockers showed their class. The consecutive blocks not only helped the Kazakhstan representative maintain the point gap but also created a great advantage in terms of spirit.
In 4 sets, Zhetysu had 15 block points while VTV Binh Dien Long An only had 2.

Despite playing with great effort at the end of set 4, it was not enough for the Vietnamese representative to create a surprise, thereby accepting a final defeat of 1-3 (14-25, 25-20, 23-25, 18-25).
However, reaching the AVC Champions League final helped the Vietnamese representative win a ticket to the FIVB Club World Championship 2025.
