Italy: Lube defeat Trento at tie break in advance of Round 5
2 min read
The big match as well as a big classic of the Italian club volleyball was played as an advance of Round 5 of the 2022/23 season.
The home team of Itas Trentino and Cucine Lube Civitanova played the fifth-round duel of the ahead of schedule.
Initially set for October 30, the âsuper matchâ of Superlega CredemBanca was brought forward to allow the two sides to better prepare for the Final Four of the Italian Super Cup, scheduled on October 31 and November 1 in Cagliari.
Before today, Trentino have already suffered two defeats in three games played so-far while Lube fell once and, regardless of not excelling as expected, due problems in outside hitterâs roles (which are over with the recovery of Cuban Marlon Yant), they appeared to be in better shape at the start of the season.
The defending champions have proven the claim, but not without fighting during the match which saw their fierce rivals in the last two decades taking the lead of 2-0 in sets. However, Trentino failed to convert five match balls in the fourth set.
The 18-year-old Bulgarian outside hitter, whoâs playing his first professional season after a two-year experience in the NCAA (Long Beach State) Aleksandar Nikolov, was the top scorer among the winners with 19 points including 4 aces, while Daniele Lavia scored 32 points for Trentino, who managed to lose the match even though they have pretty much closed the net with 19 blocks, 5 of which made by Lavia himself and other 5 by Serbian middle-blocker Marko PodraĆĄÄanin.
