They then trailed 15-11 in the second set, but managed a come back to level at 1-1, winning 25-23.

This seemed to encourage the Asian champions, who then went on to win the third set 25-18 and then take the bronze medal, winning the fourth 25-21.

Depsite losing the opening set, Guangdong went on to win 3-1 and take some pride out of a tournament they would have hoped to have won.
