Modena collapses against Cisterna, show by Tommaso Rinaldi! Verona wins Ravenna – OA Sport
Tonight two matches were played valid for the 23rd day of the SuperLega, the top Italian men’s volleyball championship. At the PalaPanini a simply crazy match is staged e Modena unexpectedly collapses against Cisterna: the Canaries managed to recover from 0-2, but the strength was lacking at the tie-break and Lazio gave themselves a terrific success. Coach Andrea Giani’s boys lose after two victories and remain in fourth place, at -3 from Trento and Civitanova (who played two games less).
Tommaso Rinaldi’s show (24 points, 6 aces)supported by Stephen Maar (21, 3 aces) and Petar Dirlic (20, 4 blocks, 3 aces), allowed Cisterna to harpoon a truly luxurious success in terms of salvation, while the hosts were not braked despite the good tests of Nimir Abdel-Aziz (24) and Yoandy Leal (16)Earvin Ngapeth remained a rest.

Verona is to conquer the Ravenna field for 3-1 (25-21; 25-15; 24-26; 25-20). The Scala have returned to success after two consecutive defeats and have hoisted themselves to eighth place with 24 points after adjusting the rear (still dry of seals this season), but remain in full battle not to relegate together with Cisterna (24), Taranto (23), Vibo Valentia (22), Padua (21). The attackers were the ones to drag the guests Rok Mozic (24 points) and Mads Jensen (21, 4 aces), of note are the 6 walls by Jonas Aguenier. Niels Klapwijk (21) and Marko Vukasinovic (13) were not enough for Romagna.
