Kazakh-National-Team
Kazakhstan were two sets down against the rivals to whom they lost a few days ago in the Second Stage of the tournament but made a turnaround by fighting for every ball until their captain Aleksandr Stolnikov scored an ace on the second match ball in the tie-break, 3-2 (20-25, 15-25, 25-17, 25-23, 16-14).
Vitaliy Erdshtein from the winning side scored a match-high 19 points. Moon Sung-Min led Korea with 19 points.
Kazakhstan advanced to their second-ever final in the continental championship (lost to South Korea 3-0 in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, in 1993) where they will meet title holders Japan who outclassed hosts Indonesia in straight sets, partially 25-17, 26-25, 25-23.
Yuki Ishikawa scored 20 points for Japan, while Rivan Nurmulki led Indonesia with 21 points.
