Brazil, will now compete in their fifth straight and sixth overall final of a World Championship, vying for their fourth world title. The South Americans will face on Sunday in the final the winner of the second semifinal, following at 21:15 local time (19:15 GMT), between defending champions Poland and USA. Serbia will play for bronze against the loser of the Poland v Serbia game. It took Brazil two pair of extraordinarily accurate hands to catch the pass for the final against Serbia: Bruno Rezende and William Arjona took turns and made the Selecao unmarkable as Brazil dominated completely. When they first met, early in the tournament, their minds seemed to be full of doubts about their true potential; but some twenty days later, Serbia and Brazil entered the semifinals as the two teams that had grown the most along the way - and with very clear ideas on what to do. A nearly packed Pala Alpitour could appreciate an impressive offensive quality in both teams, as Brazil ended with a 61% attack percentage and Serbia "only" 52%. The first two sets were dominated by Bruno, whose hands gave Brazil the chance to play their best offensive volleyball so far: old friend Lucas Saatkamp (10 points, 7/7 attack) allowed the son of legendary Bernardo to propose a number of first tempo attacks that you will not find in volleyball playbooks. Felipe 'Lipe' Fonteles was the go-to guy when the ball was hot - and did not disappoint, closing his match with 8 out of 12 attacks transformed without suffering killer blocks or making errors. In the third set the Serbians opted for a change of attitude, driven by Aleksandar Atanasijevic (16 points) and Uros Kovacevic (71% attack, 14 points). The double-handed lob, a signature play for Uros, created confusion in the Brazilian defensive line, and coach Renan Dal Zotto chose to put William Arjona in as he had successfully did against Russia. And the 39-year old backup setter not only gave the Brazilians fresh offensive ideas, but he also single-handedly blocked Marko Ivovic in the decisive action of the match, giving Lucas the chance to close it.

The Kazan players got into the game faster: they immediately made it difficult for their opponents to receive the ball, and Maxim Mikhailov was good in attack. However, his opponent, Maxim Sapozhkov, lost his first balls: he was blocked by Mikhail Labinsky and hit an out, forcing Konstantin Bryansky to take a timeout at a score of 2:7. The Kazan players were good in attack and maintained their lead. This continued until Labinsky was blocked twice (18:15). However, Mikhail soon redeemed himself by blocking Sapozhkov again – 23:19. Mikhailov put an end to the game. The debut of the second party was already in favor of Dynamo – 6:1. It was Sapozhkov who was reliable in attack, and he also single-handedly blocked Dmitry Volkov. After Labinsky's attack into out, Kazan's deficit increased to –6, and Alexey Verbov used his second timeout. When Volkov was again under Sapozhkov (6:13), he gave way to Andrei Surmachevsky on the court. And at the score of 10:17, Drazen Luburić replaced Mikhailov. They were unable to turn the tide of the game – the Kazan team made many mistakes in attack, while the Moscow team played almost flawlessly (88%). Volkov, who returned to the court after the break, was blocked twice in a row. Surmachevsky came in instead, but he was also blocked immediately, resulting in a score of 6:10. The Kazan team struggled to find their offensive game. With a score of 11:16, Verbolov made a double substitution, but Mikhail Vyshnikov also faced challenges in coordinating with his attackers, particularly in terms of first-tempo attacks. Dynamo had unstoppable setters Denis Bogdan and Anton Semyshev, who never made mistakes in attack. However, Zenit's setters were struggling. Volkov hit the antenna, and Labinsky was blocked by Pavel Pankov, resulting in a 4-7 score. Soon, the Moscow captain blocked Labinsky again, and Surmachevsky entered the game in his place. Dynamo had a significant advantage in terms of serving and blocking. At 11-15, Vyshnikov replaced Abaev, but the game's dynamics remained unchanged. Dynamo was superior in all aspects, especially in blocking (15-5). VFV - http://www.volley.ru/
