Foreign players speak up, The Cong Tan Cang easily defeats Da Nang in the 2026 National Championship

(Volleyball result) - The reigning runner-up The Cong Tan Cang overcame a tough opponent Da Nang thanks to the excellence of the foreign duo as well as young stars Pham Xuan Sinh and Thach Quang Phu.

Set 1: TCTC 25-19 Da Nang

A highly impressive set by The Cong Tan Cang. Xuan Sinh's direct serve at the start of the set helped The Cong establish an active game situation; superstar Rivan entered later, scoring tirelessly to help the army-clad team maintain their lead.

Ngoc Tri's efforts could not help Da Nang catch up with their opponent. In the final stretch of the set, young hitter Quang Phu was deployed and scored three points, helping The Cong close set 1 with a 25-19 victory.

Set 2: TCTC 25-23 Da Nang

A relatively turbulent set for The Cong Tan Cang, but they still got what they needed. Both sides created an exciting point chase with The Cong holding a certain advantage. The army-clad team possesses two quality foreign players: Rivan and Xue Zhihong; coach Thai Anh Van can confidently rotate the foreign players without worrying about affecting the team's offensive strength.

On the other side of the net, Da Nang players competed very hard, especially in the final stretch of the set, but still could not successfully equalize. The Cong leads 2-0 and is very close to the overall victory.

Set 3: TCTC 25-22 Da Nang

The Cong Tan Cang entered set 3 with high spirits and created a relatively comfortable point advantage thanks to the excellence of players like Xue Zhihong, Thach Quang Phu, etc. However, in the final stretch of the set, The Cong nearly allowed Da Nang to equalize when the Chinese foreign player was specially "cared for" by the opponent's block.

Coach Thai Anh Van had to call a timeout to cut off the opponent's momentum; this short break proved effective as Ha Manh Hung helped The Cong move closer to victory with an extremely clever wrist-handling move, and no surprises occurred thereafter.

Overall, The Cong Tan Cang defeats Da Nang 3-0 (25-19; 25-23; 25-22).
