Best moments from Minas 1 x 3 Praia Clube for the Women’s Superliga final
– –
A dominant Praia in the first two sets – especially in the second partial, which the team from Uberlândia won by easy 12/25, without giving even one point in error to Minas. At the beginning of the game, with 7/4 in the first set, Praia lost to Jineiry Martínez in the middle of the net. Coming down from a block, she stepped on Sister Brayelin’s foot, and suffered a sprained ankle. Olympic champion Walewska, 41, entered the scene. The poor reception of Minas – something rare in this Superliga – prevented Macris from abusing his repertoire of fastballs mainly with central Thaisa and Carol Gattaz. The two-time Olympic champion only scored his first point of attack in the second set. Minas reacted in the third partial, with a more balanced pass. He led the partial and kept his dominance in the fourth set (opened 6/1). Except that the reception failures reappeared – in the face of an aggressive serve by Praia. The Uberlândia team turned the score on the set and secured the victory in Game 1. Brayelin was the highest scorer: 22 (20 attack and 2 block). With a sprain, Jineiry must not play.

“We know that the fundamental serve was decisive, when we managed to put a rhythm, a speed, we had an advantage. And I also think that when we stopped, they also tried to do the same thing, so it’s kind of a strategy that both sides use because the attack power is very large on both sides. But that’s it, it’s a game of chess, we need to be aware of what worked and try to improve what didn’t work because the next match is for sure it will be even more difficult. ”
