First step has been done.
A fundamental road win in Poland for Cucine Lube Civitanova in PlayOff 12 Game 1 versus PGE Skra Belchatow.
It wasn’t easy to play in front of 10.000 screaming fans at Atlas Arena in Lodz, but Gianlorenzo Blengini’s team did an outstanding job, despite too many mistakes in the fundamental of serve in the first two sets.
Osmany Juantorena was great with 18 points, Jiri Kovar useful with 13, but the real go to guy for Lube was once again Tsvetan Sokolov, a real sentence in attack with 27 points.
Now Lube will need to win two sets next wednesday at Eurosuole Forum in Game 2 to reach the PlayOff 6.
