Santa Croce did not manage to come back from the capital with the needed win to go through to the semi finals. However, it lost by the minimum margin, forcing the game to a tie-break. Santa Croce had even led 11-12 in the decisive set but in the end, a De Paula serve in the net handed Roma the win and the possibility to go back to the PalaParenti on Wednesday for the decider.
