After their losses against France and Germany, the South American nation recorded an important win 24:22 against Serbia. Even when they were leading by six goals, they had to suffer until the last seconds of the game to secure the points. Brazil's Jose Toledo, who scored a decisive goal in the last minute, talked to IHFtv: "I'm dead, I gave my 100%." "In this last two minutes we were one goal ahead and I was very scared. 'They can't take these points from us!' I thought," he explained.
