Europeans, also good the second for Italy

Men's Italy won its second victory at the European championships, beating 3-0 (25-17 25-22 25-19) an Estonia capable of putting the Azzurri in trouble in the second set, which was overturned and then won thanks also to Rinaldi's graft.

Serving as a backdrop for the Azzurri’s first match in Perugia was a renovated PalaBarton, with 2,932 in attendance for a revenue of 90,311 euros. Tomorrow Italy, the leader with two wins, and along with Serbia, in Group A, will take the court again tomorrow at Perugia’s PalaBarton precisely against Atanasijevic and his teammates to close the two-day Umbrian event, before moving on to Ancona.

The first set è a monologue of the Azzurri, who go on 12-5 and then maintain the accumulated lead. The second partial, as mentioned, è the most suffered, as the Baltics were also ahead 15-11, but Italy from 14-17 placed a partial of 8-1 in their favor. In the third set there'è the decisive stretch from 14-12 to 19-12 for Fefé De Giorgi’s boys who close on the nsecond match point.
