Matera needed five intense and thrilling sets to overcome Corigliano in a great atmosphere. With Krolis on international duty and Brazilian Luis Fernando not hundred percent fit, setter Pedron did a great job of finding various solutions in attack, leading Luppi to 17 points and Giosa to 11. Only 6 missed serves for 5 aces for Matera, while Corigliano made 13 mistakes and had 4 aces.
