Itas Trentino wins in Play off Scudetto Credem Banca 2019

Itas Trentino has a great start during the Credem Banca Play Off 2019, thanks to the victory vs Padua in match 1 of the quarterfinals. Tonight at Blm Group Arena, the yellow-blue team has won the first set and this advantage allows the team to conquer the semi-final qualification for the fifth consecutive year. The first opportunity in seven days in Veneto. The additional enthusiasm generated by the recent victory of the 2019 CEV Cup has reduced fatigue and allowed Itas Trentino to play a game as protagonist, with the exception of the first part of the opening set. With Kovacevic still full of energy (best scorer with 13 points, 3 on block and 1 in attack) and helped by Russell (11 with 60%) and Candellaro (75% and 3 blocks), the Lorenzetti’s team win all the three set. The yellow-blue’s block has been fundamental but also the mistakes of the opponents.
