The third match of the Finals Series does not start well for Copra Berni Piacenza. They must win but do it at the Palaverde is always very difficult, but if there is an Italian Title as award, the mission becomes almost impossible. The match starts with an immediate important break (11-6). The team coached by Dall’Olio tries to react with Zlatanov replaced by Cruz. But Treviso is like a bull that sees on the other side of the court a red sheet: the set is in Treviso hands without problems and with the score of 25-19.
Nothing changes in the following set. Sisley does not play as well as the first set but they still lead the match without too many problems. Copra keeps up until the second time out but at the end Treviso never seems to be in troubles. Farina passing is perfect and gives the chance to setter Vermiglio to play the game he wants. Gustavo and Papi blocks very well and Cisolla scores the point of the 25-21 that gives also the second set to Sisley and to the more than 5000 people presents at the PalaVerde. Every point scored by Sisley arrives together with the huge cheering of the crowd. Coach Bagnoli starts to taste the record of coach Anderlini with 8 titles won. A real hell for Copra that is totally out of the match. Three consecutive wrong spikes (2 of Simeonov, 1 of Marshall) show that Piacenza raise its hands and surrender. Fei and teammates after the second time our are ahead 16-8. The only question now is who is going to spike the point that will give the Title 2007. But it will be the Copra German player Dunnes that with a wrong serve gives the title.
The celebrations can begin!.
