In the first set between Flamengo and Praia Clube, the home team started with the lead, opening the score, but Praia reacted and got closer.

However, Michele shone in attack, finding spaces in the opposing defense and scoring important points.
In addition to Flamengo’s good performance, Praia Clube also showed failures in reception, which allowed gaps in the game.
