The home factor proved to be decisive once again. In the splendid setting of an AGSM AIM Pala full of warmth and passion, WithU Verona won 3 sets to 2 against the reigning Italian champions of Cucine Lube Civitanova, never beaten since Verona Volley was founded.

The team led by coach Stoytchev thus gave continuity to the great performance unleashed against Allianz Milano a week earlier, always within the friendly walls. The gialloblù public, therefore, once again played a leading role, creating a chilling atmosphere, made even more special by the renewal of the twinning between Maraia Gialloblù and Lube nel Cuore, which for many years have cultivated a solid friendship.

On Sunday evening the two teams provided over one hundred and twenty minutes of entertainment, with the Gialloblù offering a top-level performance. In the ball exchange phase, the point came after a negative reception in 59% of the cases, but the most impressive data concerns the blocks, which were 15 overall. Noumory Keita particularly distinguished himself in this fundamental, capable of blocking four times the opponents under the net, and the Mozic-Magalini band couple, who scored 6 (3 each). One less for the central Courtesy and Grozdanov, the latter also incisive from nine meters with 2 aces and punctual in attack (67% positive).

The numbers, then, testify to a good performance even in the defensive phase. Libero Marco Gaggini finished his match with 56% positive reception. In the control room, however, Luca Spirito distributed the balls to his teammates with great precision, even finding a block.
