Roma started off a bit tense in the first set while Crema seemed to play more freely. Roma eventually came back in it thanks to Yosifov and Paolucci’s run of serves. Then, some good work at the net made sure the set went to Roma. Opposite scenario in the second set with Roma sprinting off the starting blocks and Crema trailing. Giani’s boys missed a few set points. Crema didn’t. On their first opportunity, they drew level. The third set was tight too, Roma built a slight lead, then was pegged back before running away again and maintaining the margin all the way. In the fourth set, Crema struggled in every department of the game, serve, reception, attack, block, everything was going pear-shaped. In the meantime, Poey lead his team to a crucial triumph in this fight to go up in the A1.
