Italy: Milano down Trento at tie break in Final for 3rd Place – 1-1 in the series!

2023/24 Superlega CredemBanca Play Off Final series for 3rd place is tied again, confirming the importance of the field advantage.
After last Wednesday’s comeback victory in front of their home fans at tie break, Itas Trentino surrendered to Allianz Milano, 3-2 (26:24, 17:25, 25:16, 25:27, 22:20) at the end of a match with lot of ups and downs in both sides, in which the Italian Champions chasing the rivals before wasting six match balls in the fifth set without being able to realise any of them.
Milano’s first win of the season over today’s rivals therefore came on the knife’s edge, showing great character, winning 22-20 at the end of a very long and exciting tie-break, closed with Porro’s block on Rychlicki.
Game 4 is so scheduled on Saturday April 27th at Milano’s Allianz Cloud, but only after game 3, which will be played on Wednesday in Trento.
Alessandro Michieletto and Kamil Rychlicki scored 46 points in two, equally divided and with good percentages at the net among the losing side but positive, above all, the return of starting setter Riccardo Sbertoli after more than a month and a half of absence due to injury, while for Milano Yuki Ishikawa and Ferre Reggers scored 21 and 19 points, respectively.
Libero Damiano Catania was named MVP.
