Vietnam, standing 34th in world ranking, started the game confidently and somehow confused their European opponent, who rank 13th.
The Vietnamese side constantly maintained their lead, before getting briefly equalized 21-21 and coming back to secure the first set 25-23.
Belgium won the second set and Vietnam the third, only to enter the final fourth set with confidence and win it too.
A bronze medal is Vietnam’s biggest success at an FIVB Challenger Cup.
The Czech Republic won the tournament by beating Puerto Rico.
