The Lube starts well, deploying the diagonal with Garcia and Nikolov-Bottolo of the band. Force a lot to serve the home team and on the wall is attentive and reactive. Perugia struggles to pass but does not get excited. Slowly Rychlicki finds his rhythm and Semeniuk does the usual. The Umbrians hook up but do not find the right gear. De Cecco navigates between Garcia and Nikolov and Lube occasionally hesitates in reception. Perugia continues to have a bland rhythm and lets Lube escape again, closing with an ace from Nikolov. Second set of great balance, played a lot in service with Anastasi who replaces Rychlicki with Herrera and won the advantages from Perugia who brings the game back in balance.
