Bassano’s dominant first set was a mere illusion. Mantova fought back and proved it was more in form than its opponent in this first battle not to go down. Indeed, after the first set, Di Pietro’s team seemed to lack energy and could just not contest Mantova’s superiority. Now, Mantova will have a chance to seal the series away from home on Sunday. Bassano will have no other option than win it, otherwise it will go down.
