In the Cuban capital of Havana, the home national team stepped towards win from the very start of the clash against the favourites, Argentina.

Beside a slight relaxation in the third set, which Argentine players instantly punished and a big fight in the most of the fourth set, Cuba won pretty easily by 3-1 (25-20, 25-21, 20-25, 25-21).

Cuban captain Rolando Cepeda had his night with 21 point followed by Osmany Uriarte (18).

On the other side, Pablo Crer had 15 while Nicolás Bruno added 10 points.
