Garcia had a match-high of 30 points, including 26 attacks, three blocks and an ace to lead the Tunisian offence. Hedi Khazri top scored for Tunisia with 16 points. Puerto Rico showed that they were a force to reckon with at the net as they deflected 18 spikes by Tunisia.

Tunisia and Puerto Rico had alternate set wins leading to the fifth set, which saw Puerto Rico mounting a big lead. Tunisia refused to give up and took advantage of Garcia’s errors from the attack line. However, Puerto Rico recovered just in time to secure the last two points from a soft shot from the middle and a Tunisian attack error.
