In Cinisello Balsamo, Milan snatched the win in its opening game of the season at the expense of Mantova. One man above the rest: Janusek, crucial in the tie-break as well, in which he scored a powerful spike that gave two match-points to Milan. Mantova saved the first but Janusek took care himself of finishing off the job. Milan’s next game will be on Sunday at Città di Castello.
