The 24 minutes of the first set is all that Macerata needed to obtain its ticket to the Champions League Final Four. Setter Valerio Vermiglio played superbly, keeping Kazan guessing at the net and offering its attack a great percentage. Macerata will therefore take part in its third Final Four in Prague. Once the qualification was secured, it was time for the turnover. In the end, and just for the record, the Russian won the game at the tie-break.
