Kobe, Japan, November 5, 2006 -- Brazil demolished Cameroon in three sets in their final Pool C match at the World Championships in Kobe on Sunday.

The 25-13, 25-14, 25-8 victory meant that Brazil finished the first round unbeaten in five games.

Cameroon, meanwhile, provided often brave and spectacular resistance but ended their first experience of a major international volleyball tournament with an 0-5 record.

Brazil moved out to an 8-2 lead at the first technical timeout, although Cameroon weren't playing particularly badly; it's just that technically they were no match for the Brazilians.

Brazil rested their captain Fafao and Jaqueline Carvalho but still had plenty of firepower to handle the Cameroonians, with Paula Pequeno, Renata Colombo and Marianne Steinbrecher picking up the points.

Cameroon tried to get into the game and when Rebecca Rose Ngo Nkot got her spikes in, it immediately lifted the team.

But when Cameroon's top scorer found the net rather than the court, it just handed the initiative back to Brazil.

Cameroon's starting setter Juliette Asta Gamkoua also struggled and she was soon replaced by captain Rose Beleng a Ngon, who gave the team more stability.

A couple of Ngo Nkot spikes made the score slightly more respectable, but Brazil eased effortlessly to setpoint, which was converted by Pequeno.

After falling behind 4-1 early in the second set, the Cameroonians staged a mini rally, pulling back to 5-6, but then the Brazilians eased away again to 16-6 at the second TTO and then pulled away to 25-14.

Brazil's efficient bombardment continued into the third set with Steinbrecher, Colombo and Pequeno continuing their assault.

Ngo Nkot came up with occasional bombs but on other occasions was erratic.

She made a receiving error to give the Brazilians matchpoint and Colombo rounded things off with a thumping spike.
