Italy: Round 6 is over – Piacenza alone to the top! Comeback of Perugia over Civitanova. Monza, Trento and Cisterna ok

After the advance played yesterday, in which Valsa Group Modena won at tie break on the field of Rana Verona, Round 6 of 2024/25 Superlega CredemBanca has been completed today with all the other scheduled games.
Our volleyball Sunday delivered intense volleyball action, with Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza who opened the day to continue their excellent form securing a convincing 3-0 victory over an again disappointing Allianz Milano (25:20, 25:19, 25:17). Stephen Maar topped the winners’ scoring with 14 points, including the one that closed the game, while Efe Mandirsci added 12 and Yuri Romanò also contributed with 11. Milano’s Yacine Louati was the most prolific player of the match 16 points, followed by Matey Kaziyski with 9.
Despite the absence of injured Uros Kovacevic, Piacenza are now alone to the top of the standings with 17 points, taking advantage from Sir Susa Vim Perugia (16 points) who, in the evening, dropped a point in big match against Cucine Lube Civitanova, winning only at tie break, 3-2 (21:25, 25:27, 25:18, 25:18, 15:12), after a thrilling comeback from a 0-2 deficit.
The day was also highlighted by MINT Vero Volley Monza’s narrow victory over Gioiella Prisma Taranto also in five sets (25-19, 25-21, 20-25, 21-25, 15-9) at their Opiquad Arena. Luka Marttila, who entered the match in the third set, earned MVP honors by contributing 12 points, while teammates Arthur Szwarcz (12 points), and Ivan Zaytsev (11) were also decisive in securing the win. For Taranto, Filippo Lanza led all scorers with 21 points to his name.
Itas Trentino overcame an early setback to win on the field of newcomers Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina with the score of 1-3 (25:22, 18:25, 21:25, 23:25), led by an outstanding performance from Alessandro Michieletto, MVP of the match with 25 points to his name. Giulio Magalini also contributed 15 points, and Gabi Garcia added 12 for the winners, while Gabriel Cvachniger scored 17 points for the hosts.
Cisterna Volley secured their first win of the season by defeating Sonepar Padova 3-1 (25:21, 19:25, 25:23, 25:18) in a direct clash to stay in Superlega. Efe Bayram scored 12 points, Jordi Ramón added 11 points, and Théo Faure also contributed with 10, while Padova’s Luca Porro was the top scorer of the match with 16 points, while Veljko Masulovic tallied 15 and Marko Sedlacek had 12.
