Latina got off to a good start in Crema but it lost its way, clearly fading in the last two sets. Latina had gone 2-0 ahead and looked like cruising to victory but then Roberto Cazzaniga took over. The fourth set was a real runover 25-9 and the tie-break was not that different (15-8). The two teams will meet again on Wednesday but this time for the first encounter fo the playoffs quarter finals.
