SuperLega, Itas Trentino offers another success in Piacenza

On the weekend before the Final Four of the Del Monte® Coppa Italia 2022 in Bologna, Itas Trentino obtained an auspicious victory in the first (of at least two) matches to be played in Emilia in the next seven days, defeating the PalaBanca in Piacenza. This evening, the yellow-blue team defeated the hosts of Gas Sales Piacenza 3-1, securing the big match of the 23rd round of the SuperLega Credem Banca regular season.
The result confirms the recent favourable tradition of the red and white team, who haven't won against Trento at home since November 17th, 2016, and offers three precious points for the duel that leads to the final third place in the rankings, engaged in recent weeks with Modena.
In order to push the "canarini" to minus six, also thanks to the setback suffered on Saturday evening by Leo Shoes PerkinElmer at home against Cisterna, the Trentino team had to suffer only in the first set, lost at the sprint also due to the hosts. After the reception and the attack, Kaziyski and his teammates became the absolute masters of the court in the following sets, working very well also with block and serve in the break point phase, leaving no chance to their opponents, who were overwhelmed by the determination of Lavia (best scorer and mvp at his return, with 22 points, 62% attack, one block and one serve) and Michieletto (19), exceptional both at block (2) and serve (5).

Here is the summary of the match of the 23rd day of the regular season of SuperLega Credem Banca 2021/22 played this evening at PalaBanca in Piacenza.
