Report of the match. Angelo Lorenzetti choose the usual roster for the match. The spikers chosen for the starting six are Kovacevic and Russell, Giannelli as setter, Vettori as opposite, Candellaro and Lisinac as middle-blocker, Grebennikov as libero. Sir Safety Conad replies with De Cecco as setter, Atanasijevic as opposite, Leon and Lanza as spikers, Ricci and Russo as middle-blockers, Colaci as libero. The beginning of the match belongs to Perugia, who is less nervous than Trento and immediately scores in the break-point phase with Atanasijevic for 2-4, then converted to 6-8. The yellow-blue team reacts with Giannelli on the net and Vettori in attack, then it is the turn of another block by Kovacevic on the Umbrian opposite to sign the maximum advantage (12-9, Sir Safety Conad time out). Now, the trentino’s attack is strong (17-14) and the opponents had to defend themselves (Leon’s ace 17-16). Itas Trentino is more efficient in the come back phase but they lost their way in the final (22-18), taking advantages of Giannelli and Kovacevic’s actions (25-21).
The second set is more balanced. Trento tries to escape thanks to Kovacevic (8-6), but Perugia exceeds it (11-11 and then 14-15) thanks to Atanasijevic and Leon on net. The Trentino’s block reads well the intentions of the opponents and offers Giannelli a couple of break occasions, which Vettori and Kovacevic fully exploit (18-16, time out Heynen). Leon manages to fill the distance (11-11) and then Atanasjievic face the blow, forcing Lorenzetti to interrupt the game (11-14). Trento tries to get up with Vettori and Giannelli until 22-24, but then the end of the game reaches 22-25 with a mistake in the service of the captain.
