The match was played in front of nearly 1600 spectators in the "Gran Canaria Arena", and the crowd witnessed the familiar powerful and organized volleyball of the "Yellow Hawks", led by coach Sergio Miguel Camarero.

Cuban legend with an Italian passport Osmany Juantorena showed that he remains a leader in Spain as well – he was the top scorer with 18 points, demonstrating flawless spiking after excellent rallies.
His partner in distributing the attacks was Dobromir Dimitrov, who came off the bench and brought stability and speed to the offense.
