The Brazilian side showed superior depth and experience, controlling long rallies and converting critical points late in each set to take the match 3-1.

Match Overview

Playing in one of the final positions of the tournament, Osasco came out with clear intent. The Brazilian squad dominated the opening two sets, relying on aggressive serving and a well-organized block. Vizura, a young and athletic Serbian team, stayed in contention through the middle phase of each set but struggled to close out points against Osasco’s disciplined defense.

The third set saw Vizura raise their level, with their outside hitters finding success on the wings and the team’s energy lifting the neutral crowd in Basel. The Serbian side managed to extend the match, but Osasco reset in the fourth set and pulled away behind a strong serving run and sharper transition offense.
