Sibol earned a 3-2 victory over Thailand after an exciting game. While the Philippines claimed the first match in the race-to-3 duel, Thailand quickly caught up in the next game and leveled the score to 1-1. It was a tension-filled race as Game 3 brought it to 2-1 in favor of the Philippines, but Game 4 drew it to a tie once again.
