First set
In the first set, Brazil had a high percentage of efficiency in their shots and a solid defense that added to the blocking of their goalkeeper allowed them to take the set. Meanwhile Chile had difficulties with ball handling and with the definitions to the goal, which prevented them from keeping an even score.
Second set
During the second set the supremacy of the green and yellow team was maintained. Chile could not improve their shots and accumulated a large number of faults in attacks. This was determinant for the Red team to not be able to sustain a closer match in the result. It was a 2-0 victory for Brazil.
