The team showcased resilience and tactical skill, coming back from early disadvantages in each set to dominate their opponents.
In the first set, South Korea started strongly, taking an initial lead. However, Thailand’s effective offensive strategy and strong serving allowed them to regain control and secure the set 25-20. The second set saw a similar pattern, with South Korea briefly ahead before Thailand’s attack intensified, closing the set at 25-19.
Despite South Korea’s efforts in the third set, where they again led early on, Thailand leveled the score at 12-12. The teams remained evenly matched until the final moments, when a critical error by South Korea handed Thailand the set and the bronze medal with a 25-23 finish.
