800th match of its history celebrated with a 3-0 versus Padova

Itas Trentino celebrates the 800th official match of its history by winning the early match of the twenty second regular season match day of 2018/2019 SuperLega Credem Banca. Defeating 3-0 Kioene Padova at BLM Group Arena, World Champions turned page after the match against Verona on Monday night and ruled Kioene for the twentieth consecutive time.
The second place in the rank is now secured by the three points earned after a match that only in the first set offered a tie; after a final rush in the first set, thanks to an efficient serve (four of the seven aces in the first set) and the cool displayed by Russell, the match went downhill for the home team. With high attack efficiency (62% team) and attentive blocks, the team was led by Vettori (mvp with 14 points, two aces, one block and 69% in attack) and Kovacevic (19 points, four blocks and one ace); Giannelli accurately chose who to serve and managed to nullify the attempts by Padova, which collapsed despite the good performances of Louati and Torres.
