Kioene Padova-Itas Trentino 0-3, the match report

The match report. Itas Trentino must do without Michieletto (in Czech Republic to play the Under 20 European Championship with Italia Juniores), but has Lisinac (for the first time on the report) and Lucarelli, who Lorenzetti proposes for the first time in place 4 in the starting six in which there are Giannelli as setter, Nimir as opposite spiker, Kooy as second spiker, Podrascanin and Cortesia middle blockers, Rossini libero. The Kioene Padova has Shoji in leadership, Stern opposite spiker, Bottolo and Wlodarczyk spikers, Volpato and Vitelli middle blockers, Danani libero. The start of the match is all in the name of the hosts, which push in the break phase with serve and counterattack (1-4), but immediately Nimir settles the score (4-4). After the teams go hand-in-hand (7-7, 13-13), alternating at the score again with aces. In the final part Kooy attacks out, offering the first double advantage to the Venetians (19-21); the time-out of Lorenzetti is fundamental, because after Trento delivers a counter-break (23-21). The arrival of the sprint favours the guests for 27-25 with a block of Kooy on Stern at the third ball set.
On the success of the opening set, Itas Trentino starts fast the second (4-2, 9-5, 15-7), using the talent at blocking of Kooy and the one from the nine-meter line of Nimir and Podrascanin (three aces). On 16-7, the set is practically won, with the Dutch opposite spiker who leads the team until 25-15.
On the success of the precedent, even the start of the third period that Trento takes over with the same Nimir (aces, attacks and a block as well) for the initial 7-2. The gialloblù team maintains the great advantage until 14-9, then drop the attention in reception and Padua performs a comeback thanks to aces until 17-17. The final goes back to being fought point to point (19-19, 21-21); Kooy suffers in reception but did good at the net, scoring two points that are valid for the 26-24: attack and block on Shoji.
