The Cambodians continuously chased the Koreans as the former for every point made by the East Asian side. The Koreans kept their composure down the final stretch of the second set and won 25-20.

The Southeast Asians started the third set with a lead but Korea bounced back to tie the score at 12-all, then a series of deadlocks and lead changes ensued with the Koreans gaining favour with a thrilling 29-27 finish.
