Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri’s Stunning Comeback
The second match at PalaFacchetti in Treviglio was equally gripping, with Volley Bergamo 1991 facing their sixth consecutive defeat. Trailing by six points in the tie-break, Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri mounted an incredible comeback, overturning a seemingly certain defeat.
Anthouli and Gray, each scoring three points, and Skinner, contributing two crucial points, played pivotal roles in the comeback. Their efforts were instrumental, with Skinner finishing with 20 points, Anthouli with 17, and Gray with 13. The valiant efforts of Davyskiba (21 points) and Lorrayna (16 points) for Bergamo proved insufficient against the spirited performance of MVP Spirito, who excelled in reception and defense.
