Vietnam 🇻🇳 vs. Hong Kong 🇭🇰 - Preliminary phase | AVC Women's Continental Championship 2026

Hong Kong in the red, Vietnam in the blue. Straight away, that is the option that we will see a lot for Vietnam. Defended down the line. One tweet, just long, the slide attack is denied. Good service run here from Shen Lam. This time the left-hand option. Big tweet. Big tweet. She found the corner, she has. All available for Hong Kong. Vietnam has spawned with a tip through Tuan Thuy. Shen Yitong to serve. Vietnam with a slide attack with no block for A Nguyen. One better than her last service effort. Nifty quick behind. Linh Nguyen will be serving for Vietnam. Draws the overpass and no mistake is made by Tuan Thuy. A flat serve too. With strong swing. First job will be to handle the serve of Shen Lam. A better effort from Tra My. Hong Kong find a way in transition. Shen Lam working from off the net. From the service line. Combination play from Vietnam can't convert. Hong Kong can. Her chance to serve. All came in fast. Scrambled by Hong Kong to keep that one from hitting the floor. Tra My. Tung Sun Yuen. Serve forces the high ball. Shen Lam goes strong again. Wang Qun Huang responds in kind. Wang Ayi will get us back into the action. Really tough serve down the line. Brilliant tip. Shen Thuy, Tuan Thuy. Serves once more. Almost an overpass. It's almost as good as an ace serve. The serve handled well. A tip from Shen Lam. Ready to serve. Block to create transition chance again for Hong Kong. Shen Lam, strong serve. No problem at all for Nguyen Thien Nguyen. Thien Nguyen is defended but it's a free ball coming back. Variation sniffed out early on by the Vietnamese block. Nguyen Thien Nguyen coming into the game. Overpass is flushed down. Nguyen Thien Nguyen short on this serve. Brilliant block on the first play of the second set. Nguyen Thi Tra My. Wang Man Woon. Tra My gets another opportunity. This time the strong swing. Set up a set of switch. Wilson is defended. Great defense again. Tung Sun Yuen. Can Hong Kong find the point they're looking for? Wilson cross-court. Yu Ying Chi crossing the difficult situation in reception. Unable to generate an aggressive attack. Wilson is blocked. Quynh Hoang. Lovely defense in position one from Wang Man Woon. The swing coming back from Nguyen Thi Tra My. Too strong. To get action going in set number three. The tip offered. A counter-attack from Hong Kong. Tung Sun Yuen. Tung Sun Yuen. Free play. Just a continuation. Wilson goes strong cross-court. Second block in a row for Hong Kong. Now a two-point lead. Able to be recycled. It will be a free ball for Hong Kong. Four players available in attack. Their combination play pays off. Thrown into the deep end. Straight away Vietnam go to their captain. Kwan Thuy. She will be doing everything to level terms. At least bring Vietnam back within one. Great swing cross-court. Chin Nguyen Lam. Another serve. Vietnam in the lead by one. That is a great read from Quynh Hoang. Action not there on the slide. Not there for anyone either. Four contacts is the call. Yes there is. So it will be a replay. Recycled. There is a chance now. One position four. It's just another opportunity. Kwan Thuy makes the defense. Gets the chance of attack. But Wilson. He's out for the pancake. It's a great slide attack from Le Nguyen. Has to be involved on that first contact. Nguyen continues. Strong swing off the top from Pham Quynh Hoang. Quynh Hoang with the serve. Nice inside play from Wilson. But the defense is there from Vietnam. Wilson gets another opportunity. Defended once more. Great hustle from Hong Kong in defense. In the end just overpowered. Nguyen Hoang defended well. Another chance coming up for Hong Kong. Block denies here on the second time of asking. No new arm. Wilson wants a good strong attack. But the ball stays in play. Nguyen gets her chance. Just the tip off it up. Again for Wilson. Ball is still alive for Hong Kong. Speed up through the middle. Nguyen Hoang on the end of it. Steps in at set up. An opportunity for Hong Kong in counter-attack. But Nguyen Hoang setting and blocking. Nguyen Hoang to serve. Nguyen Hoang working from off the net. Wilson gets her number called. Great find in transition. Between Nguyen Hoang serving for the match. Use the swing potentially to wrap it up. Once more to the middle. Between delivers the final blow.
