Italy: Trento open final for 3rd place with a tie break win over Milano

Waiting for the Gran Finale of 2023/24 Champions League in Antalya, defending champions Itas Trentino, surprisingly defeated in semifinal by Mint Vero Volley Monza, started their best-of-five series for 3rd Place at their ilT quotidiano Arena with a hard-fought win over Allianz Milano.
Despite the absence of Daniele Lavia due an injury to the abdominal rectum and Riccardo Sbertoli, back on the bench, they managed to close the game with the score of 3-2 (23:25, 25:18, 23:25, 25:19, 15:11) over a Milano without Matey Kaziyski, also injured, who also take the 1-2 lead after winning a curious third set in which the hosts had a 8-3 led, to lose 23-25).
MVP of the match Kamil Rychlicki (21 points including 4 winning blocks and 57% in attack), well supported by Alessandro Michieletto (17) and Giulio Magalini, author of 19 points including 2 blocks and 1 ace.
Decisive also the hosts’ performance in blocking, with 16 points from this element (4 from Kozamernik) despite the Milano duo Reggers-Ishikawa (44 points in two).
Game 2 on Saturday at Milano’s Allianz Cloud, starting from 8.30 pm local time.
