Rallying with their back to the wall and taking all risks in an attempt to save the situation, Shanghai was only able to reach 12.
The third and final set commenced with two splurges in scoring. The Lusitano delegates ran out to a 5-1 lead. Before they could march further Hongkong initiated a fine rally which earned an even longer string of points for a 7-5 lead. Then a nip-and-tuck fight ensued with the score mounting evenly for three deadlocks, at &-all, 9-all and 10-all.
Mrs. Silva scored on two smashes at the net. Remedios failed to return a serve and the Lusitano team was 13-10 ahead. After that the visitors won back the serve and Remedios redeemed himself by taking the 11th point for his team but that was the end of it. Shanghai pressed again, garnering the remaining points to win the set, match and competition.
