Unfortunately, Natasa\u2019s serve went to the net, delivering the set point to Altay. Still, the Thai side did not want to surrender easily. Wipawee fired a powerful attack to save the day for Diamond Food, but outside hitter Sara dashed out the Thai hopes with her thundering spike for the 25-22 win Altay\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-106428\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5621-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Their confidence boosted after winning the third set, Altay remained in fine form in the fourth set, bouncing back from trailing 4-7 to level it at 9-9 and moved on in top gear. As their unforced errors started trickling in, Diamond Food fought on, but the rivals still had enough in their tank. Altay mixed the offensive combinations from Sana Sakradzija\u2019s aggression and Svetlana\u2019s power to extend it to 20-13. As the Thai nerves began to fray, Altay stormed on, allowing the determined Thais only one more point to win the set 25-14, forcing the tie-breaker to decide the eventual winners.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-106436\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5719-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the decider, Sana became the backbone of Altay as she unleashed a barrage of spectacular attacks to put her team in front 5-1. Diamond Food counter-attacked well, with Sasipaporn overcoming the taller blockers with her powerful spikes to assist the Thai team to narrow the margin 9-12. However, the Thais\u2019 sweet dreams to avenge the first-round loss to Altay at the last year\u2019s edition in Kazakhstan turned into a nightmare when the Kazakh giants put it all out to win the thrilling set 15-11 and the hotly-contested match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-106430\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-860x573.jpg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_5650-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult match but the victory is with us today.

I think we can\u2019t underestimate any team in this tournament. We have to do our best in every match we play. However, our goal now remains unchanged &#8211; to make it to the top four. I think our performance today is okay, but when they started to make mistakes, the mistakes always come out consecutively. We have to go back and work more on this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>QUICK LINKS<\/p>\n<p>AVC Website: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianvolleyball.net\/\">www.asianvolleyball.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AVC
