It’s in or out. Milan travels to Ortona for the deciding game 3. Ortona had won home before Milan tied it with a 3-0 victory. Now the winner of this one goes in the semi-finals to face Monza.

“In Game 2, we have been more clinical, we kept at it when we were behind by doing well at the net and in attack – explained middle blocker Emiliano Giglioli – We did everything we could to get back to Ortona, and now we want to do well to end the series. We need to put everything into it and play at our best. It’s 1-1, with a slight advantage to them but it’s an open ‘war’”.
