LPBank Ninh Binh advanced to the 2025 national volleyball final by defeating Thong Tin Binh Doan 19 with a 3-1 scoreline (25-18, 25-21, 20-25, 25-15). Their final rival will be VTV Binh Dien Long An.
The match between host LPBank Ninh Binh and Thong Tin Binh Doan 19 featured thrilling moments. A key highlight was the outstanding form of foreign player Miroslava Paskova, who led LPBank’s attack with sharp and effective strikes. A tactical highlight was the substitution at the opposite hitter position, where Anh Thao was given a chance, making the host’s gameplay more varied and unpredictable, distinguishing it from the group stage. This change helped LPBank quickly take a 2-0 lead, putting significant pressure on their opponents.
Thong Tin – Binh Doan 19 had a below-par performance. Their first contact errors were frequent, which prevented setter Lam Oanh from fully showing her ability despite her efforts. Foreign player Irina Voronkova, who shined in the qualifiers, failed to maintain her high performance, contributing to the team’s disadvantage. Nevertheless, in the third set, Voronkova’s return combined with steady scoring from Kieu Trinh allowed Thong Tin to narrow the gap to 1-2 (20-25), forcing a decisive fourth set. However, Thong Tin’s weak blocking was continuously exploited by LPBank. With Voronkova’s inconsistent form and Kieu Trinh carrying the load alone, the visitors lost the last set 15-25, ending the match 1-3 overall.
