3 min read
Two recovery matches of Round 15 (or, if you prefer, Round 4 of second-leg) were played today: in first, three points win for Lube Civitanova who wins 3-1 on their home court against Vero Volley Monza, on the other, an amazing Allianz Powervolley Milano wins against Leo Shoes Modena in a match lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes!
In details, Cucine Lube Civitanova wins in four sets (25:20, 25:19, 22:25, 25:23) over Vero Volley Monza (still without the American middle-blocker Holt), taking three precious points to consolidate the second place in the standings, remaining just 3 points behind the leaders Sir Safety Perugia Perugia. Robertlandy Simon closes the match, signing three blocks in a row (of his 5 in total), writing in series the 23:22, the 24:23 and the final 25:23 of the fourth set. Osmany Juantorena, author of 14 points with an amazing 76% in attack on 17 balls played and 1 ace is the MVP of the match.
In the other match, Allianz Milano back to the victory, taking two very important points by winning at home against Modena. 3-2 is the final result, in a battle fought up to the last point, as reported by the scores (20:25, 30:28, 25:18, 21:25, 20:18). For the hosts finally the victory arrives after a fast that lasted from last November 29 (the last victory was against Cisterna), interrupting the negative streak of six defeats in a row, while Modena runs into the second consecutive stop after the bitter tie break with Civitanova. It was a real show that played tonight, with a great block performance for the winners: 16 in total (against the only 5 for Modena), 6 for Piano and 5 for Kozamernik who, with 16 final points and 67% in attack, was named MVP of the match. Excellent performance also for Basic, author of 14 points (48% in attack), and Ishikawa (13 points, an ace and 57% in attack) who contributed to the final success, despite not being present in the starting six. Among the hosts good performance for Lavia (25 points, 2 blocks and 65% in attack) and Vettori (23 points, 1 block and 54% in attack) who help to snatch a point to Milano, but not enough to win the match.
