On Wednesday Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia took the second win in pool E with a 3-0 win against As Cannes Dragons (15-25, 22-25, 18-25). Now they are the leading team in their pool with six points.

The dragons didn’t participate in this competition since 2010/2011 and although they knew that they were meeting with a hard opponent they were all in. Since they lost their last match 3-0, they needed this win. In the end, it didn't turn out the way the hoped for.

The team of Nikola Grbic, the Serbian coach, showed a lot of its talent, in service, in reception, and in the offense.

Perugia took an early lead with 3-8 and then improved it to 12-19. The home crowd of Cannes tried to give them energy but in the end, didn't work out and Perugia took the first set with an 18-25 win.

The second set started a bit differently than the first one with a 3-0 lead for Cannes. With a few spikes, Perugia got to equalization of 5-5. After that, it was played point by point but Perugia had more energy and managed to save the second set to their advantage.

Perugia didn't miss their entry into the 3rd set and was putting their hand on the ball (3-8). The Dragons got a better level and were trying to come back into the game, but Nikola Grbic changes its 6, and Perugia was still leading (8-12). Even though there was a big gap between these two teams, the Dragons were far from giving up. The 2000 people watching the game were on fire in the Palais des Victoires and were with their team.
