Adige’s Derby of Superlega ends at tie break advantages

Adige’s Derby, which is valid for the 21th turn of SuperLega Credem Banca 2018/19 regular season, comes to an end just at tie break advantages. The host team Calzedonia Verona has the better for 16-14 after almost two hours and a half of a very tough match, with constant attacks and counterattacks that have made it a very compelling and at the same time uncertain challenge until the end.
Although the fourth defeat in championship, Itas Trentino maintains its second ranking place, taking one point off Civitanova thanks to the victory of the first and third set, time during which Lorenzetti’s team has performed its best volleyball skills, before suffering the double comeback of Verona. Important to point out is the excellent coming back of Kovacevic (best Itas scorer with 20 points and 55% at the net) and the brilliant Candellaro’s performance during the whole game, with 14 scoring points thanks to 5 blocks, one ace and 100& in attack. Very efficient has turned out to be also the ongoing enter of Codarin, who has scored 83% during the first set and two blocks that for a while have been useful to counterattack the great performance of the former Itas player Kaziyski  (mvp with 24 points and 52% in the net area).
