Extraordinary Mantova. Three points at 12 all in the fifth set against the league leaders worth 8 months of work. It did exactly what it had failed to do during all season and finished fourth from bottom in the table, leaving Massa and Gioia del Colle behind. This wins means Mantova miraculously qualified for the playouts, in which it will take on Bassano.
