The contest between the two teams took place to decide the squad that would be making their way into the next round of the tournament which is the Playoffs 12.
It did not take long for the winner of the match to emerge as Generali UNTERHACHING was able to assert themselves by making a clean sweep over their opponents. Despite the fact that Banca lost the match in three back-to-back sets they did not go down without
putting up a good fight.
The opening set was intensely contested between the two sides but Banca lost their steam in the second one in which the guests were able to smother the home team. However, the Banca squad rallied themselves together and stepped up their game in the third
set but the effort came in too late as the guests were able to seal the deal on the match at the following final set scores: 26-24, 25-13 and 28-26.

all my guys played well and were fully concentrated up to the end of the game. We did a good job especially in defense.”
On the other hand, the coach of the home team, Flavio Gulinelli, shared his views by giving the following statements, “It was a strange match but I cannot accept the attitude we showed in the second set, we should have reacted there. Congratulations to Generali
for their ticket to the Playoffs 12.”
The recent win has enabled the Generali squad to secure their ticket into the next round of the tournament. Not only that, the sweeping performance of the Generali squad has earned them the honour of being the only team in the tournament with the best scores.
