Club World Championship 2021, Sada Cruzeiro stops Trentino Itas

The last day of the first phase of the Club World Cup 2021 saves the first defeat of Trentino Itas in the competition. Tonight, in Brazil, the yellow-blue formation gave up in three sets to the hosts of Sada Cruzeiro, closing the Pool B in the second final place: a place that will force Kaziyski and teammates to face in the semifinal Cucine Lube Civitanova, the winner of Pool A, in the Italian derby on 10 December at 21 (Italian timetable, live on Sky Sport Arena and Volleyball World Tv).
For Trento, the match started with the right attitude, proposing aggressivity at serve and attention between block and defence, but this type of match lasted only until the half of the first set, when then the Brazilians began to take the reins of the game with serve and counterattack, cornering the opponents for all the rest of the match. Trentino Itas tried to react in the second set, rebuilding a score that saw it under for 5-8 to transform it in 17-16 in its favour, but that was only the last cue in a difficult evening in reception and at service. Among the yellow-blue, we report the 16 points of Alessandro Michieletto, the only player of Trento in double figure and the last to surrender, as shown also the 62% at the net and a winning block.
