Brazil vs Poland | Gold Medal Match | VNL 2021 | Highlights | Wallace De Souza vs Bartosz Kurek

Brazil struck gold at the 2021 FIVB Men’s Volleyball Nations League, coming back from a set down to beat rivals Poland in four 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-15, 25-14) as the competition wound down on Sunday at Italy’s Adriatic resort of Rimini. A brilliant scoring performance by Wallace de Souza who bagged 22 points after attacking for 58% (18/31) and adding three blocks and an ace was key to Brazil’s convincing win that boosts the confidence of the South Americans who next head out to defend their Olympic title at Tokyo. Brazil overpowered Poland in both blocking (9-7) and serving (6-3), but in the end it was their attacking efficiency that made the difference: 52% (54/102) to 44% (44/101). Poland made a break to turn a 5-6 deficit into an 8-6 advantage after a great dig by Kurek followed by a kill by Michal Kubiak plus an attack gone long by Lucas Saatkamp. Poland carried the lead into the second technical time out, but immediately after that back-to-back kills by Wallace de Souza
