The Belgian outfit clinched a 22-20 final win against the Serbians, who had won the first four legs of the season in Utsunomiya, Manila, Prague and Lausanne.

Thibaut Vervoort sent the crowd into raptures as he drained a two-point shot to take his side beyond the 21-point winning threshold.

Vervoort was inexplicably left unmarked and felt no pressure as he scored easily from beyond the arc.

Vervoort's nine points made him the final's top scorer but it was his team-mate Bryan De Valck who achieved the highest player value on 9.8 as he recorded five points, five rebounds and two highlights.

The haul meant that Brochant amassed the highest player value with 9.5.

Düsseldorf's Ama Degbeon was judged to be the next-best player as she dominated in the air with six points, eight rebounds and two highlights for an 8.3 player value.

Canada finished in the bronze-medal position as they scored more points per game than fellow semi-final losers Spain,19.0 to 17.8.
