Italy: Trentino reject efforts of Verona to stay unbeaten in Superlega

Itas Trentino remained unbeaten in the 2019/20 Italian Superlega’s regular season.
They dropped three points which they practically had in the pocket in the home match against Calzedonia Verona and had to settle for two points. The guests pushed the Round 4 match to the tie-break despite being two sets down. However, Trentino, whose play melted down after they got 2-0 lead in sets, have saved the invincibility in the competition (currently with a 4-0 score) by taking the tie-break: 3-2 (25:22, 25:22, 21:25, 19:25, 16:14).
American Aaron Russell scored 20 points for the winners, while Bulgarian Asparuh Asparuhov and Frenchman Stéphen Boyer scored 21 points apiece, while Emanuele Birarelli made 4 winning blocks.
