Play Off Scudetto 2021, Civitanova wins match 3 and goes forward in the semifinal series

The Eurosuole Forum of Civitanova Marche rejects again Itas Trentino in Match 3 of Play Off SuperLega Credem Banca 2021 Scudetto SuperLega Credem Banca 2021. After having conquered, just seven days ago, the Cucine Lube field at the tie break, tonight the giallo-blù team couldn’t double the outcome; the hosts won 3-1 in Match 3, thus taking the lead for the first time (2-1) in the best-of-five match.
If they do not want to finish their race in the championship, the giallo-blù team will therefore necessarily have to win match 4, scheduled in Trentino in three days (Wednesday 7 April at 20.30 at the BLM Group Arena), but there are reasons to believe in the new draw.
In particular, the character, the desire to fight and the technical-tactical weapons displayed in the first part of the match give the giallo-blù environment hope in the possibility of bringing the series back to Marche in seven days. In the opening set, Itas Trentino was in fact the protagonist of a splendid comeback; under 13-16 and then also 21-24, Giannelli and his teammates got back on top, dragged by a great Nimir, winning the advantages for 27-25. The good moment of Lorenzetti's team continued until the middle of the second set; immediately after, Lube returned to play a very convincing volleyball between serve, block and attack, putting the opponents in the corner and winning in succession the periods that allowed the Marche team to win 3-1 at home. Among the Trentino ranks, Nimir's performance was excellent (20 points with three blocks and three aces); in double figures also the pair of place 4 Lucarelli and Kooy (12 points each), who however did not manage to counteract that of Lube until the end: Leal (MVP with 20 points) and Juantorena (12), in addition to Simon (15 with four blocks and 79% in the first half).
