Estonia secured with this victory the 17th position with a win- loss ratio of 3-0 in the classification tournament and they improved their total competition record to 4-3.

Venezuela dropped to 1-2 in the final tournament and 1-6 in the whole competition and their position will be determined according to last match between Morocco and Rwanda.

The outstanding performance of Estonia‘s outside hitter Robert Taht was a key factor in the victory as he sent his sharp hits which were unstoppable for the Venezuelan defence or blockers. He scored 19 points as his team scorer including 2 dying blocks and 1 ace service. He was followed by Renee Teppan 13 points.

From the Venezuelan side, Roberth Abreu and Jose Martinez led the scorers with 10 points each.
