This is definitely not the week for women’s teams in the Nations League (VNL). After playing a tie-break against the Italian alternate team, Brazil was dominated by Canada and suffered its first defeat against its rival in history.
Even with Gabi’s return, the Brazilian team did not have the same volume of play as in other matches and did not have a tactically well-positioned opponent and a disciplined passer, distributing the offensive movements evenly.

Brazil was hounded on serve and left the court with subpar attacking performance and blocking. Mainly responsible for defining the team’s moves (in this match), opponent Rosamaria finished the match with 15 hits and only 9.68% success on offense.
Canada scored 21 blocked points, compared to just 13 for Brazil, and scored 29 goals from Brazilian team errors. In this momentum, the Canadians won by 3 sets to 2, in partials of 28-30, 25-22, 25-23, 21-25 and 17-15. The result gave the North American team a reprieve in the standings and a small chance of qualifying for the VNL finals.
Brazil could fall to fourth place after the end of this Thursday’s matches (29). The Brazilian team has retained seven victories and has only won one point, reaching 21. Brazil’s next commitments in VNL are against Turkey this Friday (30), at 10:30 a.m., and Thailand on Sunday (02), at the same time.
