Playing on Wednesday night, July 22, 2026, the host squad controlled the match across three straight sets with scores of 26-24, 25-15, and 25-18 to start the tournament phase strongly.
Tactical Execution and Opening Set Battle
Head coach Reidel Toiran deployed a starting lineup featuring Farhan Halim, Alvin Daniel, Hendra Kurniawan, Fauzan Nibras, Putra Bagus, and Luvi Febrian, with Rakha Abhinaya operating as libero. Cambodia’s core trio of P Sarun, K Mom, and Veasna pressured the host side throughout the early rallies, evening the score at 18-18 and pushing the set into a tight 24-24 deuce.
According to Kompas, the Indonesian squad maintained its composure through the late pressure of the first set to squeeze out a 26-24 win.
Second and Third Set Dominance
The host team asserted firm control in the second set, pulling away early and coasting to a 25-15 victory. Farhan Halim led the offensive output, providing critical spikes alongside precise setups that kept the Cambodian defense scrambling. The third set featured another fierce exchange of attacks before Indonesia built a 17-12 advantage behind the coordinated efforts of Luvi Febrian, Farhan Halim, and middle blocker Hendra Kurniawan.
Although the visitors attempted to close the gap behind more scoring from P Sarun and Veasna, the home team sustained its lead. The match concluded at 25-18 in the third set after the opposing bench substituted several key players who appeared fatigued under the relentless pace set by the Indonesian attack, as reported by Kompas.
