The teams made an agreement to shorten a fourth set due to strong heat and blazing sun (players were even forced to wear sunglasses while playing), so it was played up to 15 points. Every touch of the ball by Serginho was followed by loud cheering of the crowd who was occasionally invading the pitch.
