Set 1: Border Guard 25-21 Hanoi
Hanoi started enthusiastically with 2 consecutive points, but Border Guard quickly caught up and established a proactive, dominant position over their opponent. Nguyen Ngoc Thuan continued to be Border Guard's heavy weapon, while Tran Minh Duc also knew how to leave his mark with his very difficult serve.
There were moments when Border Guard allowed Hanoi to equalize, but the army team still controlled the game too well and did not give the capital representative an opportunity to create a surprise.
Set 2: Border Guard 25-14 Hanoi
Hanoi created certain difficulties for Border Guard in the initial points, but Ly Van Chuong and his teammates quickly lost their advantage and gradually fell far behind their opponent. Border Guard demonstrated why they are currently the "undefeated" force in domestic men's volleyball with their unpredictable playstyle and ability to score evenly across all lines.
The gap widened increasingly, Coach Tran Dinh Tien and his team secured victory with a 11-point margin, making it very difficult for Hanoi to create a surprise, even for just one winning set.
Set 3: Border Guard 25-19 Hanoi
There were no shocking developments in set 3, Hanoi was completely passive against Border Guard's superior class. Border Guard's star national team lineup coordinated too smoothly and effectively; it would be a surprise if the army team could not defend the Hoa Lu - Binh Dien Cup championship.
Final Result, Border Guard defeats Hanoi 3-0 (25-21; 25-14; 25-19). This is the 5th consecutive time Border Guard has reached the finals of this tournament.
