Qatar-vs-Korea
The players coached by the Italian expert Massimo Giaccardi recovered from two sets down against South Korea at the opening match of the Pool A of the Asian Qualification Tournament in Ardabil, Iran, 3-2 (21-25, 15-25, 25-21, 25-18, 15-13).
In the second match of the Day 1, China did not allow the same kind of upset to Kazakhstan, 3-1 (25-15, 25-21, 22-25, 25-23).
Since Pool A consists of five teams, the hosts Iran will play their first game in the tournament tomorrow, against South Korea.
The first two teams at the end of the tournament will secure their berths in the World Champs and join two other Asian sides there, Japan and Australia.
