In the advance of the 13th day, sixth success in a row for Uyba
TALMASSONS-BUSTO ARSIZIO: 2-3 (26-24, 20-25, 21-25, 25-21, 12-15)
Busto wins, but how much effort! In the TV preview of the 13th day, Eurotek must use all its resources to conquer the Palasport of Latisana, “home” of an indomitable Talmassons, in five very tight and sweaty sets. Uyba – “saved” by her bench (Frosini mvp) – thus closes the first round momentarily in fourth place, awaiting Sunday’s big match between Novara and Scandicci, which will be decisive for outlining the Italian Cup pairings (the busts can still aspire to play the quarter-final at home)
10 without honors
—
For Uyba, on points from ten consecutive games for a haul of 26 points out of the 30 available, the sixth consecutive victory (the ninth in the last ten games) actually comes at the end of a very complicated match, the result of a lackluster performance for thanks above all to a tough CDA, capable of never giving up and selling its skin at a very high price.
false start
—
Busto does and undoes right from the start, with Sartori and Piva (7 points with 67% in attack) on the shields, but Talmassons – after having chased and impacted on several occasions (Strantzali well) – finds the keystone in Kocic at the end to prevail at the second set point on the Serb’s ace: 26-24 in 30′.
bench
—
That the Lombards – perhaps even tired after such a streak – are not having a great evening can also be understood in the third set, where the pink panthers lead the dance for a long time (Storck raises his voice), before Barbolini finds again from the bench (Olaya, Scola and Frosini again) the resources to recover the deficit and turn the momentum in the final: 21-25 in 28′
tie-break
—
Talmassons, still chasing their first home win in A1, manages with a well-deserved 25-21 in 29′ (Strantzali well) to extend the contest to the tie-break, where Obossa lays the foundations (7-1) for a still difficult 12 -15, to the delight of the thirty fans who arrived in Friuli from Lombardy, after a long trip of almost a thousand kilometres.
Talmasons: Storck 23 points, team blocks 8, team aces 5.
Busto Arsizio: Piva 22 points, team blocks 11, team aces.
