Despite the elastic score, the game was, in a way, balanced. All sets, except the second, ended in close draws (26/24, 25/19 and 26/24). The main problem was the sequence of errors in the crucial moments of the match – the team lacked composure to close the sets. On the other hand, the Canadians played an impeccable match in attack, with Loeppky being the biggest highlight.

If the team coached by Bernardinho had a day without inspiration, there was one exception. The young man opposite Darlan even tried to take responsibility by trying to contaminate his teammates, but without success. The Sesi player was the team’s top scorer in the match, with 12 points scored.
