China have claimed the title in women's volleyball. It was an exciting match that could have gone either way, but China eventually defeated Japan 3-1 to take home their third consecutive Asian Games gold medal.

It is the fourth time for the two Asian powerhouses to meet in Asiad's final.

It was China who had a slow start. The Chinese girls made a string of spike errors. Japan made use of this opportunity and took the first set with a three point lead.

China bounced back in the second set. They launched a brilliant wave of attacks from the start and their winning momentum tied the scoreboard.
