In the match dedicated to Galassi, with the Monza fans and the red and white fans displaying banners in favor of the central defender who was undergoing surgery for a tumor, Gas Sales Bluenergy won all the long plays and enjoyed a third half in the process, winning the fourth consecutive victory between the Italian Cup, Super League and CEV Cup.

PERUGIA-MODENA 3-1 (27-25, 19-25, 25-21, 25-20)
—
Two balls for the 1-0 lead and the victory of the third set were not enough for Modena to overcome a Perugia who found two high-level protagonists in Plotnystkyi and Semeniuk. One of the keys comes at the end of the first set: Davyskiba with two hands-outs earns as many balls to close the set, but a block from Giannelli turns the situation around and an invasion by Modena ends the home team’s comeback. Then the match continues in balance, with one set on each side, but the Umbrians are more effective in the last fraction, earning the lead in the Super League.
Perugia: Semeniuk and Plotnystkyi 13 points. Team Blocks: 5. Team Aces: 5. Semeniuk 3 aces
Modena: Porro 18 points. Team Blocks: 6. Team Ace: 7. Porro 4 blocks. Mati 4 aces, Buchegger 3 aces
