Italy: Verona forced Cisterna to say good bye to playoffs!

Round 22 of 2022/23 SuperLega Credem Banca or, if you prefer, Round 11 of second leg started today with a great WithU Verona who celebrate their seventh victory a row in the competition after defeating Top Volley Cisterna by 3-1 (25:22, 25:20, 21:25, 25:20) in front of nearly 4000 home fans.

Rok Mozic was awarded Most Valuable Player for his very good performance today on the court, but Sapozhkov ended the game as top scorer with 22 points to his name.
Either way, with an excellent 66% success rate in attack, the winners proved to be better in this game, leaving little room for their opponents to make a comeback.

Despite Top Volley Cisterna best efforts to secure a spot in the Play Off zone, above all with Petar Dirlic and Marko Sedlacek, authors respectively of 15 and 13 points, it wasn’t enough to stop WithU Verona from confirming the 5th place in the standings and eliminating them from the playoff race.

All in front of Emma Villas Aubay Siena’s president Giammarco Bisogno, a direct interested as tomorrow his team will play on the field of Vero Volley Monza in a last call to stay in Superlega. Why a direct interested? Because Siena’s direct rival to avoid relegation is Gioiella Prisma Taranto, who tomorrow will face a Allianz Milano who, thanks to Verona’s today win, already secured a ticket for playoffs….
