On the evening of August 29, the quarter-finals of the VTV Cup 2024 international women's volleyball tournament took place at Ninh Binh Provincial Gymnasium.
Most of the quarterfinal matches were closely contested. Expressway were the first to advance to the semifinals with a 3-0 win over King Whale Taipei (25-11, 25-21, 25-14).
Then, the Philippines representative Paint Masters caused a surprise when they won 1 set against Korabelka (Russia). This was also the first time the Russian representative lost a set at VTV Cup 2024, but they still easily defeated their opponent with a score of 3-1 (25-18, 25-19, 21-25, 25-22).
Another strong candidate for the championship - Kuanysh also convincingly defeated Aranmare with a score of 3-0 (25-10, 25-22, 28-26). Despite great efforts in set 3, the Japanese representative could not overcome an opponent with a better physique and playing style.
In the final match of the quarter-finals, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team faced Henan (China). Contrary to the worries of fans before the match, the Vietnamese team won with a score of 3-0 (26-24, 27-25, 25-19). Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team will meet Expressway again in the semi-finals.
