A heroic performance from the Block Devils in Moscow. Beaten 3-1 at home last week, they managed to turn things around with a four-set victory, which sent the tie to a clutch Golden Set. The Italians went very close to take it all, having led 12-9, but that makes the elimination all the more disappointing. Still, if they play at this level in the league, they will be able to achieve great things.
