Canada's men fell 3-0 (22-25, 17-25, 17-25) to Brazil on Wednesday in Volleyball Nations League action.
The Canadians held the advantage in attack points at 36-35.
However, Brazil dominated in blocking (10-2), aces (4-1) and made 17 errors to Canada's 26.
"It was disappointing," Canada head coach Dan Lewis said. "We just couldn't execute on a few things that we needed to game-plan wise, which put more stress on us.
"We weren't able to put any pressure on them on serve tonight so that made it more difficult."
