🇹🇭 THA vs. 🇰🇷 KOR - Highlights Week 1 | Women's VNL 2023

Right here in Antalya against Thailand. Korea to serve with Kim Da-in, the setter. It's picked up by Azharaporn and the cross-court kill doesn't go though. Pinchachaya is denied and that is going to be shoveled back somehow so Korea can reset. Back set but straight into the block. Nothing doing. Chatuchu on and tapped out in sync and that's a big block point. A very solid week here for Thailand as you would expect. Oh and she's dropped an ace in there. Big misjudgment in the back row. First half of this first set from Chatuchu on. Lovely set but boom straight into the block. That's a really nice pass. No chance of stopping that and uh just found tapped out. One of these Tokyo Olympians is brought in to serve and that's not a particularly challenging serve. A quick back is sent back and she'll stretch it down the other way and there's nothing there for Azharaporn and now they look to dump it in. Nothing doing there for Jung Ji-yoon. Azharaporn is off net and they'll pick this up in the back row. There's a really good rally going here. Park denied by the containing block. No containing block there though. Park and Lee Ju-ah and with an absolute beauty and that is the captain Park Chung-ah sending that. Cutting into this deficit. That's just fly through. This is a big point and if it's a big point you look for Chatuchu on Moxri. Keep any hopes alive. Kang's pass is not the best. She can take it on though. That's Wippawee in the back row to pick that up. Lovely dig from her and it'll come near side and that's sent deep by Kim Pichaya. Now this has got to go and again it's into the block and I tell you tapped out was there again. That might be back-to-back stuff. Blocks for the middle blocker. Kim Da-in at the end line. Chatuchu on with a really nice dig from Kim. No play though available. It'll go over to Azharaporn and she's picked up by Moon Chong-won and then into the block again goes Kim Mi-yoon. Some dig that from Chatuchu on one-handed. Azharaporn goes for the clever little one but it's read all the way by Lee Da-in and that's a nice finish. Played that point really well the Koreans. Jung Ji-yoon applying a finishing touch to what was a pretty impressive rally. Just evaporated in front of Cesaro Hernandez's eyes. There's Chataporn with a perfect pass. Oh and an even better block to wipe out Chatuchu on. This is a beauty one-on-one. Now she's on the board and suddenly it's now Thailand with a lead to defend and it's another poor pass here from Kim Mi-yoon and then Daik punished again. Chatuchu on down the line. That's by the numbers stuck. Moving particularly well there the setter. And the slide working to lead you up. Before we sent it down the line it's a pretty comfortable take when it's a little push there and Thailand will get control of this. Chatuchu on though can't find us a gap. This is a tough take. Still it stays alive. Chatuchu on unloads. It's kept alive out of system but they'll put it on Park's swing. She's contained. Pornpan will set up the back row attack. Nothing doing for Whippooi. Park will take it on again and that's a beauty. Off net as well. It takes Korea to set point. Can they get their first set? Whippooi picking that one up. Chatuchu on. Oh that's sweet. Chatuchu on with serve. It's a decent pass but it's into the containing block. They'll have to do it again and again. They've managed to keep it alive here. Pornpan giving Korea free ball. Oh that's not going to go. That was a chance. Now Pornpan back in system will send it over to Pimpichaya. Some dig that from the libero and then into the block and of course it had to be once again tapped out with a huge block and Thailand take a two-set lead. A set in the bank three times here in Antalya. They've been so close. The slide that's executed perfectly. Hataya attack point to go with the three blocks. Chatuchu on with the pass and where's this going to go? This could be trouble coming back at Thailand right here. Park again. No Pianuts there. Backside it'll go. Nothing doing for Pimpichaya. Quick take inside from Chungho Jung. That won't go either. Chatuchu on will rip it down the line. Both teams playing strong defense in that really good rally. With four in the back row. Ripari with a lovely cross court off the Sarima set. Looking to serve here. Pianut with the take. Oh where's that going to go? A whole bunch of net call there. It's advantage Park but no it won't go. Lovely rescue there from Jung. Park again goes for the dink. Nothing doing. Chatuchu on says that's still a live ball. Great defensive work again and Chatuchu on just ripped it off the block. Lee and Jung were there. We'll take this one. It's not the greatest of takes. Can she clean it up? No she gets blocked and another chance. That's still alive. Scramble time for the Koreans. It is still going here. Backside set. Again really good contained blocking. Park it was. Park will transition and get the win as well. That was a real seesaw rally there. Had some movement in the air didn't it? So Lee Ju-ah serving and this time it is Chatuchu on. That's a nice pass and Chatuchu on though goes straight into the block. Chatuchu on will take it on again. The cross court is picked up and sent straight back instantly. Tatdao is having a big big defensive game. What a time this would be to come up with something a bit special. Four in the back row. Lyon-White. Pretty comfortable take again. No winner there for Park. Backside. The cross court is picked up. Full stretch here. Where's that going to go? They get a touch and it's another one for Tatdao. Serving for the match at 24-21. It's wobbled over the net. It's been picked up somehow. This has got to be good and it's into the block and that'll do it. Hataya with the 12th block of the game for Thailand and they'll enjoy this one against the Koreans. This one will mean a little bit more than just a normal win.
