The Brazilian National Team has achieved a Pyrrhic victory over Korea 3-0 (25-15, 25-10, 25-23) since they lost all chances to defend the trophy in the Grand Champions Cup by losing to Japan, yesterday. Today, Brazil’s domination was mostly visible in the blocking (14-2).

On the other hand, Korea (without Kim Yeon-Koung) once again proved that they simply strayed into the tournament as they lost all four games so far and all in straight sets.

Brazil’s Tandara Caixeta scored game-high 19 points. Lee Jae-Yeong made 16 for Korea.
