ITAS DIATEC TRENTINO – MARMI LANZA VERONA 3:2
Trentino was missing L. Vissotto. The game was very even. Verona’s dream to come back from Trento with a victory lasted until 14-13 in the fifth set. But then, Kaziyski had other plans: he scored three points helping the World Champions to keep their winning streak going.
Emanuele Birarelli (Itas Diatec Trentino): “It’s been a difficult game, Verona played without fear but in the end it paid the price for a predictable game. Vissotto’s absence made itself felt but we still did a good job of turning things around having recourse to our bench”.

We were back on track in the fourth and even though it was more difficult that it should have been, we eventually grabbed the three points. This is crucial for us because we stay in touch with the group leading the pack, which we really wanted to”.
