Saturday by defeating Spain 5-1 in the final of the 2013 World Beach Soccer, Russia has retained its title acquired in 2011. There is therefore no miracle for the Roja which had to bow to the power of the Russians. They confirm the revival of beach soccer once masterfully dominated by Brazil.

Spain, however, the winner of Brazil in the semis, was quickly led by goals from Anton Shkarin, Kirill Romanov and Yury Krasheninnikov (double) after 30 minutes of play. If Llorenc tried to keep his team in the game with the reduction of score, it will be the only flash of the Spaniards in the game. Smitri Shishin destroyed all hopes with a fifth goal.

Tahiti handed the third rank to Brazil!
The match for third place in the tournament was tighter. The host country has stood up to the Brazilians favorites after just giving up after the shots. 7-7 at the end of regulation time and overtime.

Also notice that the two African teams in this competition were eliminated after the first round. Let us meet in Portugal in 2015 for the next World Cup.
