Galatone defeated

The Ragusa team banished its fears at the PalaRizza, just as the same situation as the match against Campobasso was about to unfold: a 2-0 lead, then a tie-break defeat. Galatone was building a comeback after taking a 2-1 lead and establishing a clear superiority in the fourth set. Recorded at the block with the addition of Musardo and finding a defensive magnet in Barone, Kindgard varied the distribution of her attackers, even scoring six points of her own. The four-point break suffered by the home team (9-13) and, above all, the 18-21 that Padura scored with a spectacular backhand from his Argentine setter (knees on the ground and a perfect arc from position 6 to position 2), bode well for coach Licchelli’s Salento team. Is it Green’s fear of winning, which increases the error rate, or is it the Sicilians’ strength that can exorcise another negative ending? As always, both situations are a result of the same reason. Green is fouled in attack, the double substitution is ineffective, and Lugli’s ace finds the second line in conflict at the receiving end for a tie (22-22) that galvanizes captain Chillemi. And it is he, the second scorer (16 points) for his team after Lugli (20 points), who nullifies Frage’s positive conclusion (24-23) and puts the seal on a finale that banishes all doubts.
