The match, held at Park Arena Komaki, saw Thailand triumph with set scores of 25-20, 25-19, and 25-23, marking their fourth consecutive medal in the event.
South Korea initially posed a strong challenge, taking an early advantage in the first set. However, Thailand’s responsive attacks and effective serving allowed them to gain control midway and secure the set 25-20. The second set remained competitive, with Thailand overcoming a brief South Korean lead at 11-9 to finish ahead at 25-19, thanks to their strengthened offensive play.
The third set saw another spirited start from South Korea, but Thailand managed to level the score at 12-12. The teams stayed closely matched until the final moments, when a South Korean error at match point handed Thailand the set at 25-23 and the bronze medal.
