    The South American side had 10 blocks while China had three.

    "After the loss yesterday to Poland, it's not easy to come back 24 hours after. But we did come back more focused and really motivated to make a better match," Brazil skipper Bruno Rezende said.

    "It's good motivation for the final round so we have to wait now and prepare well," he added.
