Perugia, 25th March 2017
The field is a key factor also in match 2 of the series of semi-finals Play Off Scudetto UnipolSai 2017. As happened on Sunday at PalaTrento, PalaEvangelisti of Perugia was the protagonist of the second match of the series: in front of 4,000 spectators, Sir Safety Conad won 3-1 against Diatec Trentino, leading to a tie in the series and gaining another home match (match 4 on April 19th).
As happened in the last two and a half years, Umbria fought off the assault of the Yellow-blues, who, after the good things shown six days before, experienced a step back not only in terms of the final result, but also in the continuity of the performance.
However, the Yellow-blues started well: with a sharp service, a good continuity in side-out and with a great performance by Stokr (best player of Diatec Trentino with 16 points and 62% in attack), the team of Lorenzetti was able to take the lead 21-18 in the first set, before suffering the reaction of the home team, which won the set 28-30. The team of Trento was able to win the second set (20-25), its only one good moment, because then – despite fighting at a peer level against the opponents – Lanza and his team-mates couldn’t play with lucidity losing the next two sets. Among the positive moments there are the good performance by Daniele Mazzone (who entered during the match reaching 67% in quick attack with 1 block and 1 ace) and the initial good moment of Solé, three blocks and 75% in attack. In order to get another victory in the series, the team needs to limit the errors (11 in attack and 26 in the service) and has to try to control Atanasijevic’s performance in a better way, mvp of the match with 22 points, 58% in attack and 3 blocks.
