Città di Castello offered a spirited performance in semi-final game 2 but Molfetta, who could count on an unstoppable Uchikov, was too strong, especially considering the fact the team was without its two foreigners who are with their national teams. Led 2-0, Città di Castello travels south on Wednesday with the obligation to win to stay alive.

“Our job will be to analyze what did not work but also the positive aspect that allowed us to stay in the game until the last play of the fourth set – said coach Radici – if we want to win in Molfetta, I think we have to improve our performance as a whole but I think we can make it”.
