QAT vs AUS
In Pool A, in a five-set thriller, Australia beat Qatar (25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 18-25, 15-10) for the first victory on the Asian Volleyball Championship.
Mark Lebedew, Head coach of Australia: “This tournament is very competitive. My players did a good job in the first two sets, but they were deconcentrated in the third and fourth set. In the fifth set, I took out Edgar because he had not played for a long time, and William was a good replacement and made a big contribution. Qatar was a tough opponent as they improved a lot”.
In the second match of Group A, Iran defeated Sri Lanka with 3: 0.
In the Pool B, Japan opens the tournament with a 3-0 victory (25-21, 25-15, 25-11) over Hong Kong.
Yuichi Nakagaichi, Head coach of Japan: “My players were a bit nervous in the first set. From the second set onwards, my players took control of the match”.
