Italy: Padova destroys Cisterna in advance of Round 5 of playoffs for 5th place

What a victory for Kioene Padova, who destroyed the rivals of Top Volley Cisterna in just 1 hour and 13 minutes of play, never reaching 20, and completely surrendering in the third set.
The numbers speak all in favor of the winners: 51% in attack against Cisterna’s 34%, positive reception 51% against 44%.
Padova also does better from the service line, with only 10 errors and 8 aces (5 by middle-blocker Vitelli), while Cisterna makes 15 errors with 3 aces. In blocking, Padova wins 8-4. Top scorer of the match was outside-hitter Bottolo, who closed the match with 18 points (with 43% effectiveness) in attack, 1 ace and 4 blocks, despite MVP is setter Ferrato.
As for Cisterna, surely the moment to mention is the injury of Sabbi, who at 2-1 injures his forearm and hits his head on the edge of the bench, remaining on the ground. Despite the moments of panic and concern, with the help of the Red Cross and both health staff, the opposite returns to the field on 19-13.
