Volleyball, semi-final match 2 Modena-Perugia 1-3 championship

They had to be sparks and sparks were. Perugia equalized the scores in the series (1-1) of the semifinal championship for 1-3 (23-25, 25-22, 21-25, 21-25) but at the end of another sporting battle with no holds barred and emotions . And of “normal” controversy for a race of this importance. In the eye of the storm there are also the referees, who, unlike in game-1, intervened, however conditioning the match (at least in part).

Modena waits

–

Modena is alive and waiting for good news from the sports judge, already on Monday or Tuesday, for having forgiven 3 days of disqualification in Leal and having him back in race-3 on Wednesday evening in Perugia. Modena replaces Leal (suspended) with Van Garderen. The Brazilian-Cuban disqualified after race-1 is often in the stands next to president Catia Pedrini. Modena gets off to a great start and digs a furrow (10-5), but fails to contain the return of Perugia which has in Anderson and Rychlicki (from mid-set onwards) the tow truck that takes Perugia out of the quagmire it ended up in . Modena wraps itself up in reception and the SIR wins the partial. Second set in photocopy, but here Earvin Ngapeth wakes up and together with Nimir drags Modena to a break even. Third set that still varies, Perugia starts in a rocket with a good Leon, there are 7 points ahead of the Emilians, Giani can do nothing but field Swan Ngapeth, Earvin’s brother. And Modena, one step at a time, is back in the wake of Grbic’s team. aul 17-19 Earvin battles and draws the score, but at this point the first referee (Simbari) tired of the protests of the two teams, to avoid the situation degenerate, gives a double red (one to a team) decision which removes Ngapeth senior from the batting area effectively changing the scenario of the match.

Protests

–

Modenese protests in clusters (because the set changes direction with that decision in a phase that did not seem so heated with tensions in the field), while Perugia flies away in the midst of Modenese nervousness. With the audience whistling the referee loudly. Earvin Ngapeth is in the evening of grace (he was also MVP in the first race), while on the other side Colaci is exalted in defense, pushing on Modena. It is a point-to-point battle. Perugia tears, but Modena does not give up. Bruno is exalted, even in defense. But Perugia pushes harder and objectively has more weapons to play (while Swan Ngapeth largely plays the part of him, but he’s not Leal). Draw of scores, there will be at least one game-4.
