A heart-pounding match, the umpteenth of a tradition that gets stronger from game to game whenever Grottazzolina and Prata di Pordenone appear on the pitch. Fourth consecutive tiebreak in as many matches played over the course of a year, from the 2022 Serie A3 Italian Cup final, passing through the category Super Cup, up to the most recent double crossing in the current A2 regular season. The Friulians evidently started with the favors of the forecast, also given the not exactly positive period at Videx Yuasa, yet Vecchi and his companions were able to redeem themselves from the latest outings by approaching the first set well without getting discouraged in the face of the return of Prata, capable of subverting the progress of the challenge in the second and third set, and finally legitimizing a victory that is worth gold for the morale of the group.
The reaction that was needed, even more corroborated by the qualities of an opponent who presented himself at the PalaGrotta as the absolute protagonist of the championship in the fundamental of the serve, a factor that coach Boninfante’s boys did not fail to highlight for the umpteenth time by putting 13 ace, 5 of which signed by Petras alone. The Slovak spiker, exactly like Hirsch and Porro, ended the match with 15 personal scores albeit with an offensive positivity of 33%. Katalan is the fourth profile in double figures for Tinet (11 points, of which 2 winning blocks, and a 64% offensive positivity) but it was Scopelliti who stood out with 5 personal goals against the block.
