And it's the same, 1-1

.

Third set

In the third, balance.

Rychlicki, however, errs too much and Anastasi returns to insert the Cuban Herrera, however less effective than the last part of the semifinal.

Blengini inserts the young Nikolov: immediately two aces and it is the extension of the Lube.

It is the challenge of the two directors, among the strongest in the world, Giannelli and Luciano de Cecco who had also won in Perugia.

In the beauty of the distribution, he is another champion named Wilfredo Leon who with an ace approaches Perugia.

Adrenaline, pressure, Civitanova mura and Leon is the monster and brings the third set to 23-23.

Plotnytskyi misses the serve while Mattia Bottolo puts down the ace of the set.

Civitanova is ahead 2-1.


Fourth set

Perugia cannot be wrong if it wants to reach the tie-break.

And instead it is Lube starting strong, 4-0 at the start with a big block from Anzani, inserted in by Blengini. 


Perugia reacts and draws closer, Civitanova wastes too much.

And thanks to the determination, the hands, the points of Simone Giannelli comes parity. 


Enter the Tsar.

Blengini plays the Zaytsev card.

The first attack is perfect.

Ivan inserted as a receiver ... Yant makes Lube come back close (21-22) but Leon removes Perugia and gives the three set points.

And so Rychlicki closes the set and goes to the tie-break.

Emotions, entertainment, beautiful volleyball. 


Fifth set

Perugia stretches immediately, with Leon and Plotnytskyi.

Bottolo is the only one to still make numbers, a delightful lob over the wall but at the change of field Civitanova is 4 ahead (8-4).

So Ivan Zaytsev returns, this time from the opposite but another wall that hurts arrives: Perugia again with the Ukrainian Plotnytskyi. 


In the final frightening incident to Leon banging his head hard after slipping in front of the net.

Moments of panic, then Leon gets up, greets the audience, leaves the field and immediately returns to celebrate the fourth Italian Supercopp in the history of Perugia.
