Campeão da Superliga, o Sada Cruzeiro começou a defesa do título levando um susto. Na noite desta segunda-feira, no Tancredo Neves, em Montes Claros, o time celeste precisou de cinco sets para bater o anfitrião: 22-25, 25-20, 22-25, 25-19 e 15-13.

A vitória rendeu dois pontos ao Sada na tabela. O Montes Claros, de volta à elite nacional, ficou com um ponto pela derrota no desempate.

Leal foi o maior pontuador da noite, com 23 acertos — 17 no ataque, três no saque e três no bloqueio —, 53% de eficiência ofensiva e o Troféu VivaVôlei. Já o argentino Armoa, que passou a jogar no segundo set, terminou com 15 pontos; Otávio e Lucão somaram 11 cada. Pelo lado chileno do Montes Claros, Dusan Bonacic fez 19.

O atual campeão errou muito no início e cedeu a primeira parcial por 25 a 22, diante de um adversário que aproveitou cada brecha. Insatisfeito, o técnico Filipe Ferraz trocou o oposto Oppenkoski por Wallace e o ponteiro Rodriguinho por Armoa, e a equipe melhorou: 25 a 20 e empate.

O Montes Claros, comandado por Walner Santos, voltou a crescer nos pontos decisivos e fez 25 a 22 no terceiro set. O Sada respondeu com saque agressivo e empatou em 25 a 19. No tie-break, abriu 9 a 4, viu os donos da casa encostarem, e fechou em 15 a 13 com um ataque de Armoa na entrada da rede.

O Montes Claros joga de novo em 2 de novembro, às 16h, contra o Norde. Na quinta-feira, às 19h, o Sada recebe o Azulim Monte Carmelo no Riacho, em Contagem, em partida antecipada da décima rodada.
