Bergamo refused to surrender. They claimed the third set, then the fourth one as well, while in a thrilling tie-break Bergamo outplayed Casalmaggiore by 15:13 and qualified for the big finals! Celeste Plak scored 18 points for the Blue squad, Katarina Barun added 12, while the key role in this game had Vesna Čitaković-Đurišić who came in the 3rd set and completely changed the flow of the match.
