Farmitalia Catania brings out its character and fights on equal terms against Valsa Group Modena, leaving PalaCatania dreaming and in the end, despite the defeat, stands up and applauds the blue and whites. The tenth first leg of the 2023/24 Credem Banca SuperLega Championship, which sees Catania and Modena face each other, ends with a 2-3 (25-22, 18-25, 25-19, 20-25, 13-15). A tie-break that leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouths of the hosts who always remained in the game and who until the end believed they could prevail against the sixth strength of the championship who, during the match, had to shuffle more times the cards to keep up with the blue and white.
