Before this match, the Vietnamese team with Tran Quyet Chien (world rank 2) and Bao Phuong Vinh (world rank 8) were rated higher than the two Spanish players Ruben Legazpi (world rank 26) and Sergio Jimenez (world rank 188). However, the Spanish team played excellently to cause many difficulties for the two Vietnamese players.

The biggest surprise was that reigning world champion Bao Phuong Vinh played poorly in the match against Jimenez. The 1995-born Vietnamese player could not take advantage of the breakthrough opportunities and let Jimenez close in on the score. When the score was 32-32, the Spanish player suddenly launched a series of 7 points to take the lead 39-32 and won with a score of 40-33.

Bao Phuong Vinh's defeat put Tran Quyet Chien under great pressure as he had to beat Legazpi in hopes of a draw. This was considered a very tense match as Legazpi played very well with series of points "tit for tat" with Tran Quyet Chien. However, the Vietnamese player still showed more courage and created a series of 14 points to stand before the end of the match 39-27.

After missing the final point of the match, Tran Quyet Chien's opponent chased the score fiercely before the world's second-ranked player ended the match with a score of 40-37. With this draw, the Vietnamese team had to finish behind the Spanish team in Group A after losing on goal difference. In the remaining match of the group, the Turkish team won against Argentina to take the lead in the group.

At 10pm on March 22, the Vietnamese team will have a match with Argentina and the duo Tran Quyet Chien - Bao Phuong Vinh must win to hope to compete for a ticket to the quarterfinals.
