Cantù just can’t make it against Ortona, who had the better once again, this time on a 3-0 score. Only the first set was tight. Things had not started very well given that the team had two of its main players with precarious physical condition: libero Luca Butti and middle blocker Gabriele Robbiati had indeed the flu. And despite the good performance of Fede Bargi, the blocking turned out to be Cantù’s main weakness. Life was therefore easy for two of the best spikers in the league, Michalovic and Cisolla, who respectively had 58 and 67% in attack.
