Bích Thủy shines, HCĐG Lào Cai achieves an unbelievable comeback against VTV Bình Điền Long An

(Volleyball result) - The composure of Trần Thị Bích Thủy in the decisive points helped HCĐG Lào Cai complete an incredible comeback against VTV Bình Điền Long An in the 2026 National Club Championship.

Set 1: VTV BĐLA 25-16 HCĐG

VTV Bình Điền Long An seemed well-prepared for HCĐG Lào Cai's best attacking options, especially with the return of Trần Thị Bích Thủy. Even the reigning champion deployed many attacks from position 3, which were highly effective with points from Lữ Phương and Như Anh.

HCĐG Lào Cai, however, performed poorly in set 1 with very weak first steps, disjointed attacks, and lack of coordination in defensive support. Coach Hữu Hà's team only managed to exploit the opponent's inconsistency late in the set to surpass the 15-point mark.

Set 2: VTV BĐLA 25-21 HCĐG

VTV Bình Điền Long An continued to play better, maintaining control for most of set 2. The synergy between Kim Thoa and Lữ Phương helped the reigning champion create a difference; HCĐG Lào Cai still had no specific plan to neutralize the threat from the Thanh Hóa-born opposite hitter.

Nevertheless, VTV BĐLA's poor first-step handling at certain moments allowed the opponent to score. However, in a match where Bích Thủy was quite eager for the ball, HCĐG could not create a breakthrough and accepted the opponent's lead of 2-0.

Set 3: VTV BĐLA 23-25 HCĐG

It was still a set where VTV Bình Điền Long An held the decisive advantage, leading HCĐG Lào Cai for most of set 3; however, the reigning champion unexpectedly slowed down during the acceleration phase and allowed the opponent to lead 23-21. HCĐG had two set points; Bích Thủy and her teammates made no mistakes, utilizing 1/2 points to narrow the score to 1-2.

Set 4: VTV BĐLA 17-25 HCĐG

The performance of VTV Bình Điền Long An from the end of set 3 was quite puzzling. The team suddenly played sluggishly, attacked chaotically, and made very unnecessary errors. HCĐG Lào Cai, having trailed 16-21 in set 3, now grasped the "life-saving buoy," surged strongly, and left the reigning champion far behind in set 4.

No surprises occurred in the remaining part; Bích Thủy and her teammates successfully leveled the score 2-2 and brought the match to the decisive set 5.

Set 5: VTV BĐLA 16-18 HCĐG

Set 5 of the match between VTV Bình Điền Long An and HCĐG Lào Cai could not have been more intense or dramatic. Long An started well, but HCĐG Lào Cai was the team that reached match-point first and was very close to victory.

It seemed the drama peaked when VTV BĐLA courageously leveled 14-14, but what happened afterward was truly insane. Bích Thủy raised the score to 15-14; the referee ruled a ball-stealing foul, but after consulting video challenge, the "scale-holder" ordered a replay, and the point went to Long An after a model combination.

Next, Bích Thủy spoke again with a very quick cut ball at the middle of the net; the referee again ruled a net touch foul, meaning VTV BĐLA won the point. However, after reviewing the footage, HCĐG's opposite hitter committed no foul, and the score returned to 15-15.

HCĐG Lào Cai then blocked well and again had a chance to win match-point; Coach Nguyễn Hữu Hà's team celebrated when Trà My hit out. Nevertheless, HCĐG players' smiles quickly faded when the referee again ruled a net foul; Long An leveled 16-16.

Only at this moment was the match decided when Bích Thủy made a sensitive tap ball, sealing the score 18-16 and completing the unbelievable comeback for HCĐG Lào Cai.

Final result, HCĐG Lào Cai defeated VTV Bình Điền Long An 3-2 (16-25; 21-25; 25-23; 25-17; 18-16).
