It was a game without a pressure for Brazil and Serbia since both sides had claimed the spots at F6 before this game. Anyway, Brazil took the opportunity to defeat Serbia and to show how strong they are 3-1 (25-22, 25-16, 17-25, 25-23).
The top scorer of the game were two players that will play next season in the same team, Funvic Taubate. These players are Wallace de Souza (19 points) and Marko Ivovic (18 points).
However, there is still one exciting game to be played, that will decide the last participant at the Final Six in Brazil. Bulgaria need a victory over the host Argentina to book the ticket for the final tournament.
