Two winless team will fight for a chance to finish 13th Place in the inaugural ASIAN Men's U23 Championship.
Philippines have shown much improvements in their game against Saudi Arabia which they lost in 5 sets. Two-time UAAP MVP Marck Espejo and former Finals MVP Peter Torres both scored their tournament-high 22 and 16 markers respectively.
Meanwhile, Vietnam is hungry not just to win a game but even to win a set. Only Vietnam has not won a set in the tournament.
Though the two teams are not bracketed in the SEA Games, this game will more over gauge the status of the respective volleyball programs.
Meanwhile, Southeast Asian neighbors Thailand and Myanmar also bowed out of the championship after losing to South Korea and China respectively in their quarterfinal matches. Indonesia' win over Vietnam yesterday gives them 2 victories away from settling for 9th place finish.
This match will be another close one as two of the youngest teams in the tourney will try to outwit each other. Both are almost equal in all skill areas. Both teams have been wanting to win a game. But who wants it more? We'll find out.
