Rana Verona’s European dream crashes against the block of Cucine Lube Civitanova, who win the final act of the Play Offs for the 5th place and the consequent qualification for the 2024/25 Challenge Cup for the second time in club’s history, after 2010/11, in which they also lift the trophy after a win over Turkish club from Izmir.
Before the game the news concerns Slovenian outside hitter Rok Mozic, who underwent arthroscopic surgery for an impingement of his left ankle.
Civitanova close the game in with the score of 1-3 (25:23, 18:25, 24:26, 22:25) at Verona’s Pala Agsm AIM, led by MVP and top scorer (24 points including 6 aces) Marlon Yant, despite he suffered an injury in fourth set but, stayed on the field, closed the game with an ace. 21 points also for Adis Lagumdzija, and double digit also for Mattiq Bottolo (13), and Barthlemy Chinenyeze (10).
Decisive also the performance from the service line for the winners, with their 9 aces, and their 13 winning blocks (5 only from Simone Anzani), while Noumoty Keita (19), Amin (18) and Donovan Dzavoronok (12) left the court in double digit for Verona.
