Argentina rounded out their 2017 FIVB Volleyball World League season on a high note as Nicolas Bruno inspired them to a remarkable 3-1 (25-16, 25-21, 23-25, 25-19) victory over Bulgaria that ended the Europeans' hopes of reaching the Final Six.

Wing spiker Bruno was simply everywhere at the Orfeo Superdomo, pacing the Argentines with 18 points (15 spikes, two blocks, one ace). Sebastián Solé also played a starring role (10 spikes, four blocks, one ace) while Cristian Poglajen hit double figures (12 spikes) as the hosts claimed their second World League win over Bulgaria this season.

Bulgaria – who had won 19 of the previous 28 major encounters between these two teams – never really got a grip on the game, in spite of fine performances from Tsvetan Sokolov (16 spikes, two blocks) and Rozalin Penchev  (11 spikes, two blocks, one ace).
