Havana, November 9 (JIT)-- Miguel Angel Lopez played a decisive role in Sada Cruzeiro's 3-2 victory over Montes Claros America that kept them undefeated in the Brazilian Super League and the Cuban deserved the VivaVolei trophy awarded by popular vote.

Credit to their team who played a good game. They made it difficult for us, but we have to congratulate ourselves for getting one more win," he said.

"I am very happy to win VivaVolei and even more to receive again the support of the fans. I think our team needs them a lot, in important moments they give us strength to give our best. Congratulations to them too, I am very proud of them.
