Quinn Isaacson, captain of the United States: It was a slow game, we knew that Mexico had a good team, we inserted guys from the bench and I'm glad that we had difficult moments during the game and we were able to overcome them, which I like since we have some difficult games ahead of us and I see it well that we have won, although there are things that need to be improved.

Mauro Fuentes, captain of Mexico: The United States appeared very strong in this match mainly on the service line, tactically good in that aspect apart from having a very high block, I think we were able to compete with them in the first three sets already in the Fourth, I think he missed the mark due to lack of concentration, but without a doubt he is a great rival.
