Milan wins but Scandicci is still second

Milan-Scandicci 3-2

Victory at the tie-break for Numia Vero Volley Milano that thanks to a wild Paola Egonu (Mvp and top scorer of the match with 31 points) won in the big match of the penultimate round of the A1 series regular season against Savino del Bene Scandicci.

At the practically sold-out Opiquad Arena in Monza, the hosts got off to a strong start, thanks in part to the contributions of Myriam Sylla and Nika Daalderop. As already happened in the first leg and in the Italian Cup semifinal, the Tuscans, however, did not give up and riding Ekaterina Antropova deserved a very heavy fifth set.

Milan thanks to the walls of Hena Kurtagic eventually brought home the two points but Scandicci è remained in second place with a one-point margin over the closest pursuers, when there is now only one day left to determine the playoff grid.

The Consortium team on Saturday night will have to win in Turin against Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri but will also need a defeat of the vice-champions of Italy, engaged at home with an Igor Gorgonzola Novara sure of fourth place.
