Brazil recovered from a sluggish opening set to hack out a win over China in the FIVB Men's World Championship Sunday, Sept. 14.
Brazil’s quest for the FIVB Men’s World Championship crown commenced with a 19-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-21 win over China at the MOA Arena Sunday night, Sept. 14.
The Brazilians got into trouble early as they surrendered the first set. But it did not take long before the World No. 3 team got its act together to hammer out the victory.
Brazil returns to the court Tuesday, Sept. 16, against Czech Republic.
