Iran’s Paykan Tehran volleyball club has claimed the third position at the end of the 2015 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship in Taiwan, winning over Pavlodar from Kazakhstan.

On Friday, the Tehran-based squad breezed past the Kazakh side 3-1 (25-13, 23-13, 24-26 and 25-13) in a third-place game staged at the University of Taipei Hall to end its campaign at the international sporting event.

The Iranian squad opened the match in dominant fashion to win most of the points in their way to lead at the end of the first set 25-13.

Paykan Tehran volleyball players extended their lead into the second set, and managed to beat the opposite side 25-23.

After the break, Kazakh sportsmen returned to action refreshed and seemingly regained in their composure. They made optimal use of their strengths and resources in the third set, and rolled to a 26-24 win.

The Iranian outfit, however, managed to retake the lead in the final set, and sealed a 25-18 win to steal the show.

Paykan suffered a straight-set defeat (23-25, 21-25 and 11-25) from Qatar’s Al-Arabi Sport Club in the semi-final showdown on August 20.

Later on Friday, Chinese Taipei's Taichung Bank gained a 3-1 (21-25, 25-21, 25-23 and 25-17) triumph against Qatari club Al-Arabi Sport Club in the final to stand atop the podium in front of about 4,000 fans.

The victory earned the host team a spot in the FIVB Men’s Club World Championship in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, which is scheduled to be held from October 17 to November 1.

The 2015 Asian Men’s Club Volleyball Championship opened in Taipei, Taiwan, on August 13, and ran until August 21.
