The opposite player tonight seems to play as he really knows. De Giorgi’s team keep the advantage also because Sisley keeps making errors. The score is now 13-18 but after a Macerata relaxing moment Treviso is back on track and goes even ahead 22-21. But Herpe attacks and Rodrigao blocks deliver the set to Macerata for 27-25. .<br>

But like in the second set Lube slow down and let Treviso to come back to play another breath taking end of the set.<br>
But once again at the end is Macerata with Miljkovic and Rodrigao to close the third set in its favour.<br>
In the fourth set Sisley serves goes much better and Treviso is eventually ahead at the beginning of a set: and even if De Giorgi helps the team by replacing Sintini with Monopoli at the second time out Treviso is ahead 16-10.<br>
Even if Macerata fights back and reach 20-18 Sisley experience deliver the set for 25-20 and the teams are now at the tie-break..<br>
As most of the times the Tie break is full of emotions: 5-3 for Macerata at the beginning then 7-4 still for Macerata. Treviso does not give up and recovers up to 8-9 with Samuele Papi. Then Sintini starts to use Miljikovic for the heavy points and the opposite sends the team ahead 14-11. When Fei serve goes out the match is definetely over and reward Macerata. <br>
Commentsi: <br>
<br>
Ferdinando De Giorgi (Macerata Coach): “We have been really good. Tonight we played as we know and for sure with more quality than in Game 1”.<br>
Daniele Bagnoli (Treviso coach): “It has been a very tight match. We did lose because of too many mistakes and because we have been too nervous. We didn’t play well for a big part of the match and in the crucial moments what made the difference has been the different attitude”.<br>
