The Alas Pilipinas Men put up a brave stand against Thailand, but ultimately fell short after absorbing a 20-25, 25-23, 22-25, 20-25 loss in their battle for ninth place in the 2024 AVC Challenge Cup on Friday in Manama, Bahrain.
The Filipinos matched their previous finish in the tournament after also winding up 10th in the 2023 edition while Thailand will exit the tourney at ninth spot after a gold medal run last year. After dropping the opening frame, Alas Pilipinas buckled down to work in the second set with team captain and veteran outside hitter Marck Espejo unleashing the set-winning point, 25-23.
Reigning UAAP Rookie of the Year Jade Disquitado then showed his wares in Set 3, sending Alas to a crucial 16-15 lead before the Thais countered with a 7-3 rampage that carried them to a 22-19 cushion. Middle blocker Pakdeekaew Anuchit's quick kill brought Thailand to the set point before skipper Khonhan Amornthep soared from the back to take a commanding 2-1 lead.
