The favourite nicely confirmed its status and is now halfway through. This victory over Bassano in the playouts game 1 means Mantova will have two opportunities to seal the series and stay up. The first one will be this Sunday.
The hosts got off to a slow start, it was tense and Bassano seemed to play a lot more freely. However, a first set full of mistakes was followed with great plays in the remaining of the game, especially at the net.
