Volleyball, Superlega: super Lagumdzija and Piacenza liquid Verona

Piacenza-Verona 3-0 (25-19, 25-23, 25-20) On the one hand Piacenza which absolutely needs three points to aim for sixth place in the regular season, on the other Verona which must guarantee itself salvation and at the same time also a place in the playoffs. The winner is Gas Sales Bluenergy, who in the last regular season home game plays a match of all substance giving themselves a well-deserved 3-0. Lagumdzija (8 points in the first fraction) has a great start and together with Recine, who also finds two blocks to one, is the protagonist of the advantage of the hosts capable of reaching 16-11. The red and white are attentive and tidy while Verona struggles to keep pace despite Jensen’s 6 points, who is also blocked three times, so the guests soon find themselves 1-0 down. The hosts are granite on the wall, they will get six winners in the second set, and rely on the fundamental stopping Mozic for 10-6, then Recine confirms himself among the best and rejects the guest attack earning the 15-12. When Rossard shows his qualities too, the scoreboard scores 20-16, but the guests take a couple of exchanges to get back down: an ace from Jensen, an attack from Mozic and the Scaligeri make the Emilians feel their breath on the neck.

Always ahead

—

The red and white always stay ahead but never find a new extension until an attentive Lagumdzija signs on 25-23. Under 2-0 Stoytchev revolutionizes the team, changes the direction by inserting Raphael, leaves Magalini on the field and after a few points of the third set he also sends Qafarena on the field for Jensen. It is of little use because the Gas Sales Bluenergy makes no mistakes and continues to be precise on the wall and in defense. This is confirmed on 17-11, which gives the red and white an all downhill race finale.
