Czech Republic - Portugal (full match)

Portugal came back to world's elite! They triumphed over the Czech Republic at home before almost 3500 fans. Captain Alexandre Ferreira scored 22 points and Marco Ferreira added 19 points. "This is a moment that marks the life of those present in the competition hall," said Portugal coach Hugo Silva after his team's historic win. "It's the most important moment for the national team, since the win in the 2010 European League because it places us in the top of the European teams and grants us access to the Volleyball Nations League. It will be a challenge for us to bring here the major world teams. I don't believe in miraculous formulas, only in daily hard work and a very strong will from this group to leave something that stays in the memory of all, and that helps overcome the stigma that the others are better than we are."
