Sparkling Milano: The first victory of the season obtained at the tiebreak after a great recovery. Sparkling Milano was down for 2-0 and 10-14 in the third set against Agnelli Metalli Bergamo. But Milano shows two faces in the match. In trouble for the first two sets against an aggressive Agnelli Bergamo; unstoppable and great in the second part of the match. Awesome performances for Jakub Novotny, with 26 points and Riccardo Spairani with 13 points. Very important the help in the tiebreak of Peter Platenik that at the end of the match scored 18 points despite his not perfect conditions.
