In the Veneto derby Rana made the home pitch count against a combative Padova, while Piacenza won in Milan. The Marche derby is the prerogative of Civitanova: Grottazzolina increasingly last
In the midweek round of the Super League, Modena scored a big blow, inflicting the second consecutive knockout on Trento and now threatening their third place. Giuliani’s team shows off a great match, with lethal service (14 aces) for the Italian champions. Leaders Perugia suffer on the court of freshman Cuneo, winning the first set with advantages, but then asserting their superiority on the Ben Tara-Semeniuk axis which makes the difference. In the Veneto derby Rana made the home court count against a combative Padova who only gave in at the end of the set to the power of the opponent’s attack led by top scorer Mozic (17 points) while Piacenza’s corsair shot highlighted a nine-metre sniper Porro (4 aces): his own serve and attack by Gas Sales sank a Milan which immediately shut down, with Reggers foggy. The Marche derby is the prerogative of a Civitanova team that returns to win away with an overwhelming attack and driven by Nikolov who places 6 aces winning the challenge with the Iranian Golzadeh (4 aces): Grottazzolina increasingly last.
