Cisterna Volley is unable to interrupt the incredible run of Sir Susa Vim Perugia, who have been increasingly firmly in command of the Credem Banca Super League table since the start of the season. The Pontini team resisted for almost an hour and a half, but the Umbrian team, close to perfection for large stretches of the match, conceded very little to coach Falasca’s men. All in a spectacular setting: the Palasport, packed to the point of being sold-out, offered a breathtaking backdrop.
For the hosts, the best scorer was Theo Faure, the only player to reach double figures with 14 points. The Frenchman confirmed his value by closing the match with a good 64% efficiency in attack, consolidating his position in the top 10 of the scorers ranking, standing at the foot of the podium, in fourth place with 243 points. The entry of Willner Rivas, called onto the court by coach Falasca in place of Efe Bayram, was decisive in the second and third sets. The Venezuelan spiker was able to provide greater solidity both in defense and in attack, contributing 7 valuable points which kept Cisterna in the game in the partials played by the hammer, also author of an ace. Also in evidence was Aleksandar Nedeljkovic, decisive on serve and block with 2 aces and 3 points in the fundamental first line.
