Itas Diatec Trentino: Trento, 15 October 2006

Trento never gave up and fight until the very end. Not a good match for Gallotta (37% in attack) and Winiarski but good match in attack for Heller
(76% in fasting attack), Hübner (5 blocks) and Nascimento (21 points with 49% in attack).
Piacenza wins and dominates the tiebreak and reach 14 points in the standing. Trento has now 11 points.
