This wasn’t just a volleyball match—it was an emotional rollercoaster. After trading sets and moments of dominance, the showdown went down to the wire in a fifth-set tie-break that had hearts pounding. Trentino, down by three points late in the final set (8-11), dug deep and clawed their way back to tie it at 12-12, eventually clinching the match 18-16.

Star of the match? None other than Alessandro Michieletto, who lit up the court with 25 points, including three aces and three blocks. But it was a total team effort, led by MVP Riccardo Sbertoli, whose leadership, energy, and clutch plays were key.

  • Michieletto: 25 points (51% attack)
  • Rychlicki: 17 points (56% attack)
  • Lavia: 12 points

Sbertoli shared, “What a fight! This was a match full of ups and downs. We put everything we had into it and came out on top. If this is how the series starts, expect a war till the end.”
