Iran started the match on the right foot, taking a 5-1 lead. However, the Egyptians did not give in easily. Both sides put the focus of their game in the middle - on one side, there was Iran’s Mahdi Jelveh (five points), and on the other side, Egypt’s Mohamed Eloraby (six). A close call game highlighted the second set. However, after the 20th point, Iran’s Khalili Khajeh Amir shined. With as many as six kill blocks, Iran got closer to the victory. The Egyptians tried to come back in the match, but Iran’s substitute Bardia Saadat's serving made it difficult for their opponents’ reception. With two important attacks, Saadat made it impossible for the players around head coach Hany Mustafa to take a set.
