Itambé Minas took the lead in the Brazilian Men’s Super League —at least for now—after a nail-biting 3-2 victory over Suzano. The match was a rollercoaster, with set scores of 22-25, 27-25, 25-19, 15-25, and 15-11.
With this win, Minas now has 46 points, edging past Sada Cruzeiro by one. However, Cruzeiro still has a game to play and could reclaim the top spot. Meanwhile, Suzano, sitting in sixth place with 29 points, officially secured its playoff spot thanks to the point earned in this intense battle.
Stepping up for Minas, opposite hitter Samuel Neufeld—starting in place of Abouba—delivered a solid 18-point performance. Arthur Bento came off the bench to add 17, while Isac and Paulo each contributed 12. On Suzano’s side, Guilherme Sabino led with 15 points.
