Thailand 🇹🇭 vs. Canada 🇨🇦 - Highlights | Week 2 | Women's VNL 2026

And here we go, Frankson with a serve, Bornpoon with a perfect pass, that was what was missing for Thailand in the last game, and we won't laugh. Champoo to the pipe, and Bimpichaya is turned away. Blocking is something that Canada have to handle. Ten-all. Atsuchanaporn with a good pass, one-two for Champoo. See if that'll be the difference. Combination play, Atsuchanaporn, second point today. That was easily broken by Sasipaporn. Meantime, Van Rijn going down the line. And the difference between that set and the ones before is look how wide it goes. Van Rijn is at the pin when she's swinging, so blockers don't even jump with her, first and foremost. Sasipaporn serving. Good pass by Kuzan. Little combination play for Canada as well. Champoo to the pipe, and Sasipaporn connects. Let them go over and around the block. A rare bad pass for Thailand, but Atsuchanaporn somehow bounces it off the block with a side-out. So quick with the hands. Canada's there, but again, if you're not perfectly disciplined... Down three set points. And I'm afraid this roof is gonna blow! Canada, excellent rescue to keep this rally alive. Another Alice's to play, and another easy over for the Canadians. One-handed set. Atsuchanaporn delivers the winning point. I didn't sue the Canadians to keep playing, but you know what? Thailand, they are on a special run here in the last couple days, and I feel the momentum on their side. Absolutely in the zone. They will not let any of these free balls pass that easily, and took advantage right away of the second free ball from Canada. Atsuchanaporn calling on after only scoring a point in the win against Bulgaria. She is... Sasipaporn, fine, leading the way for Thailand. Van Rijk with five as well for Canada. Set number two, here we go. Another short pass for Kuzan. Gray... That one, just a little long. No, it is not. Four serving three. Thailand up by one. And also up one set to nothing. Short serve, there's the service pressure. The variation you're talking about, Ki. Sasipaporn hits it. What a save by Kuzan. Kalyanath sets it up to Pimpichaya. There's a dig by Framson. Jost, out of system play. Van Rijk, off the chest of Kalyanath. Atsuchanaporn, blocked. Recycled play. Pimpichaya repositions. That one picked up by Framson again. Several out of system plays for Canada. Atsuchanaporn with a save. Champu to the pipe. Sasipaporn with a hit. Framson again picking it up. Jost has been setting three in a row. This one, too far away for any more touches from Canada. Four serving five. What a serve. Champu to the pipe again. Yes! Even just one. Yes, on the score sheet it's one, but Van Rijk off the service line is a winning of itself. The speed today. Framson. Pimpichaya against a double block. Scores! Seven serving four. Framson backpedaling to set it up for Van Rijk, who's rejected! Emotionally, it's a fight against Thailand. It's going to be tough. And yeah, good point, Ki, because Thailand's coming off a rest day yesterday. Well, they're playing two straight from today till tomorrow. Sasipaporn again asking the crowd. That stops a seven to nothing run by Thailand. Mitrovich with a serve. Champu, what a set. Absolutely! Chance for Canada to score a couple of points here. Sasipaporn says no. Canada within striking distance, and just a couple of break points away from tying this game. Unfortunately, they just can't stop Sasipaporn, who's now in double digits. No more timeouts for both teams. Now, Coach Alad can't stop this run. Thakwam with another ace, Ki! Unbelievable! The defense of the Thais just fell asleep. Thakwam. This one picked up by Sasipaporn. Another shoot set! Off the chest! Despite that! Out of system play somehow! All right, here we go. Tied at one set apiece. Set number three. Underway. Achicharaporn. He's got nine. Now with ten. That was a little deflating, obviously. You're right, Ki. Let's see how they bounce back from that. It was already almost in hand. Nice hit by Gray, now with seven points. I'm also wondering how Canada... There's floor coverage again by Pianutpanoi. And Sasipaporn! Going across to score. Play against Bulgaria. And yet, instant impact. Gray. Coverage in the back zone by Sasipaporn. And she connects! From the pipe! Canada to make it a two-point game. Keep it close. That was the key for that win in set number two. But again! Papachaya! From down 22-18 to 25-22 Canada in the second set. Franson to Thokbuam. Dig goes over! Chance ball for Canada. Van Rijk! And now they're up by five. A very comfortable margin. Van Rijk. What an adjustment, but a pancake saved by Achicharaporn. There's a block. No, there isn't any! For Papachaya. Inside the indoor stadium. Kwamark. Good pass. Pellen is in the game. Little punch for Van Rijk. Natalica sets it up for Tadao. Canada in disarray! Oh, that's so close! I think she's still got a little bit of heal on the line though. So a couple of points given up by Thailand. Maglio and Canada still six points down. Van Rijk misses and that'll do it. Set number three goes to Thailand. Meanwhile, Mitrovic is in the starting lineup for Canada. That's the only change by coach Guterri. There's a miss by Greta. Kicked things off here in set four. On the sideline while we were doing interviews. Natalica. Seven points. Third Thai player in double digits. Another miss by Van Rijk. Great effort and a round of applause given by the crowd to Papachaya for a job well done off the bench today. Tadao. Here's a series of points from Canada. That's right, you gotta force a couple of points and that's when the arrows can pile on. Mitrovic passes France in combination play. Yes! Beautiful setup there. Five point lead. Johnson. Oh, Canada needed that. And even the crowd went, oh! Sassipapour has picked up several aces in the match. Van Rijk. Yes! I feel like as much as the Thai fans want Thailand to win, they wouldn't mind a fifth set. Yeah. So they're not safe yet. Jost with a nice pass. Franson. The Johnson. Johnson has come up big over the last few minutes for Canada. Good serve by White. Champoux. To Adjichanapour. Franson to Van Rijk. Out of system play. Easy over by Adjichanapour. And Franson this time goes to Mitrovic. And she misses. From winning in four sets against the higher ranked Canadian team. Overpass. Sassipapour gives Thailand four match points. A service pressure. And what a way to finish again. Adjichanapour to the serve. Franson to Van Rijk. And a block. Wins it for Thailand.
