Then it was hotly contested until Serbia used a 4-1 run capped by a Miljkovic ace to go up 22-19 and held on to clinch the opener.

Miljkovic, who scored nine points in the first set, continued to strike hard from the sides to lead Serbia overcome a 14-11 deficit to overtake the lead at 15-14. Brazil finally found the way to stop Miljkovic as Giba and Sidao combined to stuff him for a 20-19 advantage.

After another solid block of Lucas and Rezende Bruno against Bojan Janic pushed Brazil up to 24-22, Janic came back to make it 24-23, only to find Vissoto snare the set for Brazil with a smash.

Brazil continued to play excellent defense and blocking early in the third set for an amazing 16-8 lead. Serbia steadily pulled within 24-22 when Giba tore open the defense of two blockers to land the set winner.

It was tied at 21-all in the fourth set when the referee changed his original judgment after watching screen replay to award a controversial point to Brazil, but Serbia ran off four of the last five points to force the tie-breaker.

Miljkovic finished with 28 points for Serbia, who settled for the silver medal for the second year in a row.

Earlier on Sunday, Russia clean swept Cuba for the bronze.
