Italy | Quarterfinals Game 3: Perugia take the lead again and defeated Milano 3-1. Piacenza and Civitanova still alive!

After the advance played on Saturday in which | Itas Trentino defeat Vero Volley Monza by 3-1 to take the lead in series 2-1, other Games 3 of Quarterfinals were played today.
Without any semifinalist know, as Modena and Verona failed the first chance to close their respective series, while Perugia take the lead again.

Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza win at Modena’s PalaPanini for the first time this season by beating the hosts Valsa Group Modena in just three sets (21:25, 22:25, 23:25) to stretch the series now at 2-1, always in favor of Modena.
After first two games ended at tie break, Game 3 was a one-side story in which the guys around Massimo Botti were able to control the match from start to finish, with Modena who take the lead for the first time only in the middle of third set. But it wasn’t enough to reopen the game, with a very low efficiency in attack.
Piacenza, in fact, dominated in this element (51% to 38%), but also in blocking (10 to 5). In addition to MVP, the setter Brizard, the best is Leal with 15 points through 61% in attack 14/23, blocked once and with only one error, well supporter by a super Simon, who also contributed with 10 points including 6 blocks, and Caneschi, with 4 winning blocks, 7/8 and 88% in attack.

Absolute regular season leaders Sir Safety Susa Perugia have to make a comeback in front of their home fans in a very hot Palazbarton against an excellent Allianz Milano.
0-1 in set count and even 19-23 in second set, the players around head coach Andrea Anastasi found the inspiration they need to reopen the game: they won the set overtime, wne then, from the third on, they start to play as regular season leaders. Decisive Semeniuk and Rychlicki, who started from the bench, but also the final numbers are in favor of Perugia, above all in reception (56% vs. 38% positive) and attack (50% to 37% efficiency).
Although an excellent Rychlicki was the top scorer of the match match with 20 points through 67% in attack, MVP awards to Plotnytskyi, who ended the game with 18 points, 2 aces, 2 winning blocks and more than a couple of decisive points in the key moments of the game. Double digit also for Flavio (11 points through 79% in attack), 9 for Semeniuk, also decisive in the game.
Partially it was 22:25, 30:28, 25:18 and 25:20.

Mission accomplished for Cucine Lube Civitanova, who interrupt WithU Verona’s winning streak consisting in 9 games by beating them 3-0 (25:17, 25:22, 28:26) in front of nearly 3000 fans.
A strong signal for titleholders, led by an almost perfect Nikolov, deservedly MVP and top scorer of the match with 25 punti to his name through an impressive 84% and 4 aces. Double digit also Yant with 15 points while, on the other side of the net, nothing to do for Keita (15), Sapozhkov (14) and Mozic (10), although their desperate attempts to reopen the game.
Civitanova won also from the service line (9 aces to 3), in attack (67% and 59%) and in blocking (4 to 3).
