Italy: Perugia open quarterfinals with a straight sets win over Milano

The Italian SuperLega Credem Banca playoffs started today with the first quarterfinal game between Sir Safety Susa Perugia and Allianz Milano.
The remaining three matches of this playoff phase are scheduled for tomorrow.

The game ended in straight sets (25:22, 25:15, 25:18) with a hard fought first set in which Milano, after suffered the initial 6-2, managed to level the score and even to surpass regular season leaders 13-14, surrendering also towards the end, on 23-22. Since then, however, the hosts take the lead and dominated the other two sets.

Decisive the performance in blocking, with 11 points from this element, as well as an aggressive attack (68% of team performance at the end or the match).
MVP Brazilian middle-blocker Flavio, who close with 10 punti including 6 winning blocks, but double digit also for Herrera (17 points through 79% in attack), Plotnytskyi (14 with 3 aces and 71% in attack) and Leon (10 points).
To Milano a great performance of Japanese star Yuki Ishikawa (13 points with 76% efficiency in attack) wasn’t enough.

Sir Safety Susa Perugia currently holds a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series, that will continued on Wednesday in Milano.
