In an intense match at Belo Horizonte’s Arena Hall, Gerdau Minas clinched their first-ever Brazilian Super Cup title, edging out Dentil Praia Clube in a thrilling five-set battle (25-19, 26-24, 25-22, 21-25, 15-12). Minas dominated with a robust offensive strategy and powerful serves, marking a victorious start to the national volleyball season.
Shaking off a recent defeat to Praia in the Minas Gerais State Championship, Minas showed up transformed, with Jenna Gray’s swift setting driving the team to success. Despite Praia Clube’s sharp blocking, their receiving line struggled, tipping the scales in Minas’s favor.
With the crowd’s energy fueling their spirit, Minas closed the fifth set, keeping the ‘Pão De Queijo’ classic rivalry in balance, with each team now holding a victory this season.
Minas’s Peña shone with 21 points, earning the match’s MVP and the season’s first Viva Vôlei Trophy. On the other side, Praia’s Sofya Kuznetsova single-handedly scored 33 points but lacked support from her teammates.
