    Igor Gorgonzola NOVARA prevail over Allianz MTV STUTTGART

    Article

    Allianz MTV STUTTGART and Igor Gorgonzola NOVARA delivered a great show for the fans in the sold out SCHARRena, where more than 2200 fans of #CLVolleyW enjoyed the clash between the two teams.

    The Italian side could emerge victorious at 3-1 after a real fight on the court. In what resulted in being their fifth meetup in Champions League, the players of Novara kept the positive balance on their count, becoming the Tuesday’s win the fourth one against Allianza MTV STUTTGART. 

    The head coach of the home team, Tore Aleksandersen couldn’t lead his team in this game, as he missed the game due to illness. The  German side was led by Faruk Feray Džanković. 

    Thanks to a great performance on the block, the home side could come back from a 4-point deficit and open the match in their favour (Marie Schoelzel with 4 blocks in this set). 

    Improving a lot on the serving, Novara came back, winning the second set, which meant the start of the “cat-and-mouse game” between the teams. The intrigue was alive up until the very last moment of the fourth set, but eventually, the Italians showed mental strength and congratulated themselves with the win.

    Overall, the game was a very balanced one, with the Novara team slightly outclassing their opponents on attacking and on the kill blocks (58 to 54 winning spikes, and 14 to 10 kill blocks). Both sides recorded three aces each, and let 18 errors affect their game.
