Brazil outlasted Kazakhstan with a penalty-shootout victory to finish 13th, well down on 10th in 2007 and a tournament best of ninth, also here in Rome, in 1994. For Kazakhstan, 14th was its worst finish in six appearances with a best eighth in 2001. Brazil controlled the middle half of the game but needed to score on extra at 1:12 to level the game at 6-6 in the final quarter. There was no score in the first period of extra but RYBACHEK with a lob on extra and Marina CANETTI with a backhand from the post sent the game to the penalty shootout. Brazil shot first and sent in all four attempts but Kazakhstan's MYRZABEKOVA had the first attempt blocked. ZUBKOVA converted the second Kazakh attempt but KUTUSOVA missed and she had to watch as VIGNA scored to win the game for Brazil.
