After Zenit fell in Palazzetto dello Sport Fontescodella in Macerata, other Russian giant also had to admit a defeat to an Italian squad.

Then in fifth deciding set, captain of Lube, Ivan Zaytsev steped up and with strong services and powerful attacks gave his team a very valuable victory probably worthy of a play off spot. Still not Zaytsev but Kurek was the MVP of the game with 21 point
In Lokomotiv’s squad Moroz dominated with 25 points, while Divis helped him with 13.
In other match of the evening, Resovia had some trouble in the second set at home versus Jihostroj, but after 1-1 in sets, they ran over the guests and secured three points.
Even though the Czechs lost the game, Krisko was amazing with 24 points, but had no help out of his teammates. Akhrem with 16 and Nowakowski who scored 12 were the most efficient in Resovia.
