The match concluded with set scores of 25-19, 25-20, and 25-23, showcasing France’s dominance throughout the game.

“If the French fans weren’t here, we wouldn’t have reached the semifinals. I always say that Tokyo was huge, and somebody asked me how it could be better. I said ‘winning at home’. That is the only thing that could be better,” said Antoine Brizard, setter for the France national team and Gas Sales Piacenza. 

The United States secured the bronze medal by defeating Italy 3-0 in a match held the previous day.
