About Modena, middle blockers not receveid, with 1 point in attack apiece for Simone Anzani and Giovanni Sanguinetti, 2 for Pardo Mati sent into the court in place of the second one, and as many as 22 errors in attack.
In the evening, straight sets away win also for Rana Verona on the field of newcomers Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina, 0-3 (19:25, 23:25, 15:25), also penalized by the absences: in addition to Michele Fedrizzi, stop in warm-up also for bomber Dusan Petkovic.
Despite a competitive second set, where Grottazzolina fought back to tie at 22, Noumory Keita sealed the win with a powerful attack.
