Itas Trentino secured a dominant victory in Game 3 of the Credem Banca 2023 Scudetto Play Off Final Series, taking the lead once again. The 4,000 spectators at the BLM Group Arena cheered on the yellow and blue team as they outplayed Cucine Lube from the first set. With only 2 blocks, 42% in attack, and zero aces collected, Cucine Lube struggled in all fundamentals. Led by a masterful Sbertoli in setting, Itas Trentino proposed an aggressive and effective style of volleyball, heavily characterized by great defensive intensity. Kaziyski was MVP of the match with 18 points and 4 aces, supported by Michieletto’s blocks and Podrascanin’s consistency. Despite trying to shuffle the deck after Zaytsev’s injury, Blengini failed to find convincing answers from his team. Itas Trentino now leads 2-1 and will have the chance to close the series on Friday in Civitanova Marche.
