Schwanke started the decision with setter Matheus Brasília, facing Darlan, central players Thiery and Pietro, pointers Birigui and Marcus, as well as libero Alê Elias. The sextet were Brazil’s core team throughout the Pan American Cup runners-up campaign. Brazil started the match listlessly and the defensive line suffered from Canada’s forced serve. With an unstable reception, the side-out did not work and the Canadian block developed in front of the Brazilian attackers. Darlan and Matheus Brasília entered the championship team, as the best opponent and best passer respectively.
