Vibo Valentia had the better of Padova at the end of a thrilling game that lasted over two hours. The home side showed great character and will to snatch the game. Raphael and co could even have taken all the points at stake but the opponent fought hard to stay in the game.

“We knew Padova would be a tough opponent – said Flavio Gulinelli – and so it was. We did well to stay in the game in the important and difficult moments. Credit to Padova who put us in trouble more than once. Let’s think about Montichiari now”.
