It was a great game for Cucine Lube Civitanova on the home turf at Eurosuole Forum on PGE Skra Belchatow. Lube lost the game, but won the first two sets, securing the access to PlayOff 6, where they will face the winner of the series between Azimut Modena and Asseco Resovia, who will face each other tomorrow in Game 2 (Game 1 won on road by Azimut Modena 3-2). In first two sets Gianlorenzo Blengini’s team was in control, winning first at the extras 26-24, and easily the second 25-16. Secured the qualification, Blengini put on the court the player of the bench, remaining in the game but losing the last three sets.
So now Lube will have to wait for Game 2 between Azimut Modena and Asseco Resovia.
