Piacenza used the home game against Vibo Valentia to register its first victory of the season. The encounter was a thrilling one, full of twists and turns, and without lacking suspense. In the tie-break Nikolov led the way (6-4), and with the help of Zlatanov and a nervous Vibo team, Piacenza ran away to a 12-5 advantage. Papi eventually put the end word to it.
Samuele Papi (Copra Elior Piacenza): “Following our come back in the first set, and being so closet o win it, we did a great job in the third set, in which we managed to recover from a big deficit. We hoped to seal it in the fourth set but we probably should have believed more in ourselves. These are two important points that will give us a boost”.
