In the quarterfinals of the 2024 Men’s Volleyball Super League, the teams with the worst record in the regular season won the first match of the series. On Monday night (1st), Joinville confirmed the coincidence in this edition of the playoffs. Facing Farma Conde away from home, the team from Santa Catarina took a giant step towards the semi-final, winning by 3 sets to 1 (25/20, 25/20 and 17/25 and 25/22).

The result leaves Joinville just needing a home win in the next match to advance in the Superliga. The second match is scheduled for next Friday (5), at 9pm, at Centreventos Cau Hansen. If Farma Conde wins, the series returns for one last match in São José de Campos.

In the qualifying phase of the Men’s Superliga, Farma Conde finished with the second best campaign. The team from Jose had 50 points with 18 wins in 22 games. On the other hand, Joinville ended up in seventh place, adding 34 points and 12 wins.
