SuperLega, high-fought Adige derby in Verona: the hosts win at the tie break

The 43d Adige Derby in favor of Verona. During the typical competition between Verona and Itas Trentino, which has been played tonight at the PalaOlimpia as one of the two second turn’s previews of the SuperLega Credem Banca 2022/23 regular season, the hosts have been awarded, and they succeeded in beating for 3-2 Angelo Lorenzetti’s line-up, after over two hours and a half of actual fight that thrilled all the 3.100 spectators in the stands.
The first stop in the championship from Kaziyski and his mates, only arrived at the fifth set, is a result that perfectly tells, especially by reading the single partials’ score, how the team of Trento harshly competed for the entire match, giving up right at the advantages of an overturning tie break, a litmus test of a match characterized by balance and fight point-to-point in four of the five played sets.
A well-played game by Michieletto (18 points with 5 aces) and Kaziyski (once again best scorer of his 28 points with 56% at the net), Lorenzetti’s team had to cope with his opponents between the second and third partial, keeping on fighting and pushing the hosts until the tiebreaker, determined by one of the many opponents’ aces. The point conquered also thanks to the growing power of Lavia (20) and Lisinac, moves Trentino’s ranking, which at the moment presents four lengths after two match days (the same of Verona).
Below is the scoreboard of the anticipation of the second day of the regular season of SuperLega Credem Banca 2022/23 played this evening at the PalaOlimpia in Verona.
