Brazil maintained their invincibility in the 2019 VNL as they beat the fiercest South American rivals Argentina in an exciting Pool 7 game in Tokyo, Japan, by a 3-2 (25-20, 21-25, 26-28, 25-23, 15-12). The “Seleção” were 2-1 behind in sets but closed an intense fourth set into their favor to secure the tie-break in which they kept the perfect record in the tournament. Actually, Brazil is the only undefeated side in the 2019 VNL after two weeks (6-0), becoming the first team to win their opening six matches of a single VNL campaign. Yoandy Leal was Brazil’s best scorer with 18 points while Federico Pereyra poured in 26 for Argentina who are at 2-4.
