Game 2 goes to Vibo Valentia, who gathered a home win that had not come since last December. Besides, it beat Castellana Grotte, a team it had yet to defeat this season. It will now be all down to the deciding game 3. MVP: Klapwijk.
Tine Urnaut (Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia): “We played a very nice game, both tactically and technically, we did exactly what we had to do. We put them under pressure with our serve right from the start which made things easier in dig and at the net. We scored a few nice counter attacks and always maintained a 2-3 point advantage until the end”.
Flavio Gulinelli (coach BCC-NEP Castellana Grotte): “Vibo played an excellent game, congratulation to them. We did not do too well but it has to be said that they never let us get into the game. We lost a battle but the war is still long and next Sunday we’ll be more prepared than ever to fight”.
