Match report. The line-up chosen by Angelo Lorenzetti was exactly the same of last match in Piacenza: Giannelli as setter, Nimir Abdel-Aziz as opposite, Lucarelli and Michieletto at place 4, Lisinac and Podrascanin as middle-blockers, Rossini as libero. The other team’s line-up consist of Travica as setter Ter Horst as opposite, Leon and Plotnytskyi as spikers, Ricci and Solé as middle-blockers, Colaci as libero. Since the very beginning gialloblù team shows to be the best one on field, during break point phase are particularly determined and gain a good advantage (from 3-3 to 6-3), Michieletto at service. Heynen calls for a time out and his team manages to recover, thanks to same mistakes of Nimir at place 4 (Ter Horst scores against him). Itas doesn’t give up, Lucarelli and Michieletto run fast and gain +3 (13-10) and manage to protect the advantage, despite the good actions of Leon and Ter Horst (16-14). Then, the Dutch player scores an ace and gets to 17-17. The final phase of the set is a battle: gialloblù lead by Nimir gains 2 more points (21-19) and manage to defend the advantage; the block of Podrascanin ends the set 25-21.
