Cucine Lube-Itas Trentino 3-2, the match report

The chronicle of the match. The starting six have no news: Angelo Lorenzetti relies on Giannelli setter, Vettori on the opposite spiker, Russell and Kovacevic hitter spikers, Lisinac and Candellaro, Grebennikov libero. La Cucine Lube Civitanova responds with Bruno in the direction, Rychlicki opposite spiker, Leal and Juantorena wing spikers, Anzani and Simon in the middle, Balaso libero. The start of the game of the gialloblù is very aggressive (3-1, 7-5), also because Uros is immediately on the pitch, but two naivety of Russell offer the immediate draw to the hosts at 8. Trento restarts with the same Aaron (13-11), but Leal takes it back (13-13); then Kovacevic again offers the +3 (17-14, time out De Giorgi). At the resumption of the game the Cucine Lube goes back down twice (17-16 and 20-19), before Vettori at net doesn't give it the decisive boost (22-19 and then 25-22 with an error at net by Simon).
The victory of the first goes to the Itas Trentino, who with the serve and an unleashed Russell did well from the starting blocks (7-4). De Giorgi's time out didn't get the reaction desired by the hosts, because the Itas Trentino still accelerate with the same Aaron at serve (two consecutive aces for 11-7) and then with Kovacevic (15-10). Trento spreads in the second part (19-13) with also Vettori effective to net; Civitanova tries to react with Rychlicki (20-17), but Lisinac with first times and ace pushes it far again (23-20 and 25-21).
In the third partial the Cucine Lube starts with Rychlicki in the serving area (0-4), Trento doesn't manage to hit back immediately (5-9) but Leal's errors bring it back partially in the game (9-12). Vettori's ace forced De Giorgi to interrupt the game (11-13); then Diamantini's block and Vettori's net difficulties allowed the Marches to move on (13-17) and so the matched ended 18-25.
In the fourth set the battle returns to be point to point (5-5, 10-10), without that none of the two teams manages to take the lead. The spark arrives on 14-16 with an attack of Rychlicki that forces Lorenzetti to spend a time out. At the recovery there is space for Michieletto in the place of Vettori, but the tactical move does not have the desired effect (17-20 with the block of Simon on Kovacevic who attacked from place 1). On 18-23, Trento raises the head with Giannelli (ace) and Michieletto (block on Juantorena) and goes up to 21-23. The time out of De Giorgi clarifies the ideas of his players, who bring home the set on 22-25 with an attack of Diamantini. The tie break is rapid; Trentino Volley takes the lead for long (6-4, 9-7) thanks to a spark of Vettori. The Cucine Lube responds with two blocks of Rychlicki (9-10); at the photo finish the hosts dominate with Leal that scores the last two points 13-15.
