With a deep squad and a squad of quality players in both domestic and foreign players, NEC Red Rockets is always considered a strong candidate for the championship.
Against an opponent who was superior in every aspect, Gunma Green Wings faced many difficulties throughout the match. Unstable first passes made the attacks ineffective, while the NEC blocker was working firmly, neutralizing many of Gunma's shots.
In the first two sets, NEC completely dominated the game when controlling both the serve and defense well. In the third set, Gunma played better, tried to shorten the gap and created some moments of fierce chase. However, the difference in courage and experience prevented Gunma from creating a surprise.
Although the home team lost 0-3, Thanh Thuy still showed stable performance. Not passing the ball too much, the main striker born in 1997 still scored some important points and was a bright spot in the Gunma squad in this match.
This was Gunma's second consecutive loss. Before that, they won and lost to Queenseis Kariya in the first two matches in the SV.League.
