A defeat to start with but it was not all negative against the team Piacenza met in the last league final, Trento. Piacenza had registered the better start, taking the first set, but the rest of the game was owned by the hosts. The areas in which Piacenza fell behind are the serve (4 aces and 12 mistakes, against the 8 aces and 13 mistakes of Trento), and the attack (48% vs 54%). Extremely positive note for Piacenza was the surprising debut game of Husaj, who scored 20 points with 52% in attack and 60% in reception.
