Contrary to the prediction of many people, the Filipino women's volleyball team was unable to win the first at the Asian Championship 2023 even though she only met the weakest team of Hong Kong China.
Before this match, the Philippines was a more appreciated team and was expected to have the first victory at the Asian Championship Volleyball Championship. Especially with what was shown after two encounters with Kazakhstan and China.
The first two lightnings took place quite similar. The Philippines vs Hong Kong played quite on par with any team that could create a big gap or an overwhelming battle.
However, the Hong Kong girls are a better team at the end to be able to win quite gently in these two lightnings. A rather surprising result for those who wait for this match.
To lose the first two lightning, the Philippines no longer motivated and focused on playing. This makes the team from Southeast Asia lose the third lightning against the score very far from the opponent.
Receiving a 0-3 defeat, the last Philippines ranked in Group D. This is a rather unexpected result and makes the island fans feel disappointed. A defeat that the Philippines can only blame themselves.
This defeat also makes it difficult for the Philippines in the upcoming match when the results of the group stage matches will remain the same. Filipino girls need to be very determined to be able to win the best rank.
