Vietnam loses to Japan in semifinals of Asian Women’s Volleyball Cup
This was the second time Vietnam had advanced to the semifinals of the tournament.
The team of coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet this year has many talents, namely Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh, Tran Thi Bich Thuy, Nguyen Thi Trinh, and Doan Thi Lam Oanh.
However, the girls were unable to overcome their Japanese opponents even though they had tried their best.
Japan ranks seventh in the world while Vietnam places 84th, according to the International Volleyball Federation.
Vietnam scored the first point of the match, but the Japanese girls later proved their strength when they pocketed the next seven points.
Coach Kiet had to call a technical time-out before the Vietnamese players were able to catch up and fight back.
However, Japan still beat Vietnam 25-17 at the end of the first game.
