Brazil: all results of Round 5

Round 5 of Brazilian Superliga was completed in European night.
No problems (or almost…) for the favorites: three points for Sada Cruzeiro, Montes Claros, Sesi SP, Renata Campinas and Minas, as predicted.
On the only uncertain match, Sao José defeats 3-1 Guarulhos, taking advantage of heavy absence of Franco Paese among the guests.

Thus Fiat/Gerdau/Minas returned to the top, playing a consistent game against Vôlei Funvic Natal and beat the titleholders in an away match that was a replay of the last playoff final. Furthermore, Minas remained unbeatable in the competition, while turbulent summer takes a toll on Funvic’s gameplay as they suffered the third defeat in a row. Leandro Vissotto top-scored the winning side with 11 points, while Matheus Silva ‘Pinta’ served four aces.
