Diatec Trentino won this tough and exciting game, after four sets very different each other. First two sets were great for Trento, despite the absence of Uros Kovacevic for a muscular trouble, they dominated in attack thanks to a great Simone Giannelli, taking home the first two partials. In third the music radically changed, with a third set with 8 aces put on the ground by Kioene Padova, with Trento in technical KO, with Padove who won the set 25-17. In fourth Trento fought back again but Padova continued to be successful in the serve and in attack, with a great Gabriele Nelli, former Trento’s player who played an outstanding game versus his former team. In the end the most experience in crunch time of Trento gave to the visiting team the 25-23 win in fourth set, taking home three precious points. On the other hand Kioene played a great game in third and fourth, suffering in the first two sets. Best scorer of the game was Nelli with 24 points, Randazzo and Polo 11 apiece for Padova. For Trento the best scorer was captain Filippo Lanza with 20 points, troubles in reception for canadian Nicholas Hoag, but a good game in attack with 17 points for him. On the opposite side Luca Vettori 13 points.
MVP: Filippo Lanza (Diatec Trentino)
Lazar Koprivica (Kioene Padova): “Padova is a team who’s growing up, we can see this. We are coming from three difficult challenges versus two powerhouses as Perugia and Trento, but, on today we shwed we can compete also at this top level. The games we will need to win will be others, but on tonight we showed our power, and if we grabbed the tie break, it wasn’t a scandal”.
Luca Vettori (Diatec Trentino): “We were good in first two sets, then we turned off the light. In fourth it was a big battle, and we were good in closing the game. This is our path, to play every three days is a way to practice, improving the chemistry in the team”.
