O Suzano começou a Superliga Masculina 2026/27 com vitória sobre o Goiás por 3 sets a 1, com parciais de 25/19, 23/25, 25/22 e 25/16, na noite desta terça-feira (27), na Arena Suzano, na Grande São Paulo.
O levantador Gabriel Bieler foi eleito o melhor em quadra e recebeu o Troféu VivaVôlei. O oposto Guilherme Sabino, também do Suzano, foi o maior pontuador do duelo, com 24 pontos.
O Suzano dominou o primeiro set de ponta a ponta: com o side-out funcionando, explorou o ataque pelo meio e abriu 10 a 7. Saliba foi a principal opção do Goiás nas viradas e marcou oito pontos na parcial, mas o time paulista aproveitou os erros do adversário e, com Sabino inspirado — também oito pontos —, fechou em 25 a 19.
O segundo começou equilibrado; depois de um ace e um bloqueio, o Goiás abriu 7 a 5, e o Suzano passou a errar principalmente no saque, vendo o rival se distanciar (17 a 14). Na reta final os suzanenses reagiram e reduziram para 21 a 20, mas os goianos seguraram a pressão e fecharam em 25 a 23, num erro de saque do adversário.
No terceiro set, o Suzano abriu com a força do bloqueio de Álvaro, Leo Andrade e Sabino (14 a 10). O Goiás empatou em 14 a 14 com Felipe Rammé e Rodrigo, e as equipes se alternaram no placar até o bloqueio voltar a fazer diferença: Robert fechou com um ace em 25 a 22.
O quarto set foi ditado pelos bloqueios. Com Bieler distribuindo bem as bolas e Robert e Sabino precisos no ataque, o Suzano abriu 9 a 5, ampliou para 14 a 7 com Robert e Leo Andrade fechando a porta, e administrou a vantagem até o 25 a 16.
Na segunda rodada, na próxima terça-feira (3), o Goiás recebe o Minas no Ginásio Rio Vermelho, em Goiânia, às 18h30, e o Suzano visita o Monte Carmelo no Ginásio Raul Belém, no Triângulo Mineiro.
