Brazil: predictions respected! Minas defeat Guarulhos and join Sada Cruzeiro in final

As prediction, in European night, also Minas closed their semifinal series on 2-0 against debutant Guarulhos who, however, can sti celebrate the best result in club history. The great performance, as usual, of Franco Paese, who ended the game with 26 points (57% in attack and 46% efficiency) weren’t enough as, on the other side of the net, 35-years-old same role Sanchez
Bozhulev (still on the field instead of Vissotto) was named MVP for second time in a row in the series with 23 punti, 61% and 53% efficiency in attack. Clear superiority of the winners also among outside-hitters, in which Leozinho and Honorato win direct clash against Batagim (fielded in place of starter Joao Franck) and Renato. All perfect, thus, for Minas, except Pinta’s injury in third set…
