The Day Ran Takahashi Played as a Libero !!!

13-13. We can't have another epic like we did in the first, can we? Zimmermann, big reverse set. Is there a touch? Of course there is. Oh, part of a lead. Momentum back Mordiner's way. Zimmermann. Off the block, Rosende. Throws out of hand. There's the swing. Oh, great rally. What's going to end it? That swing is. Another set point for Padova coming up. Bruno. Zimmermann. Oh, more great defence from Mordiner. More great defence from Mordiner. Padova just need to find a winner from somewhere. Can they do it this time? Second ball swing. Oh, no, they can't. It was speculative at best. Big serve there. Oh, Feike. It's a two-point lead again. Mordiner offering up three balls and look what happens. He saved the camera. They're not cheap bits of kit. Right. That off the neck tape. They'll read that swing and get hands on it. Zimmermann. Oh, it's a good read from Mordiner as well. Now the swing to win the point to level the match. Not this time. Great rally. Bruno goes reverse again. And then Yohadi Leal finishes it off. The crowd applaud both teams. Great point. Great quality. There's Liga in 2021. Mordiner back towards the crowd. Oh, they've returned the ball. Can they make it count? Yes, they can. Oh, what a chase. That is Verona-Monsa and then Vivo against Piacenza. That's not the notes out of Andrea Gianni's hand. Decent swing there from Mathia Bortolo. Engapet. Oh, Yohadi Leal. And here he is at the service line. 6-5. Just look at the differential at the moment. Padova and Verona. Oh, cross court. A tee on that from Mathia Bortolo. That said, Urban Engapet got two hands to it. You can tell from his body language, he feels as though that's a ball he could have. For a 1-0 lead then. Zimmermann sets and the first set point saved. Mathia Bortolo. 28-28. Zimmermann. Oh, the block. Very, very close. Very close indeed. 32 minutes played. It's 30-30 here. Zimmermann. Off the block now. What can Bruno do here? Tip back on the second ball. Oh, that is giant. Urban Engapet. And now Modena wrestle back the advantage. Yohadi Leal. Zimmermann. Here's the block. They can keep it alive. Swing from the other side. This time is a good one. Linus Weber. He is a weapon, isn't he? And the top flight journey is over for now. Oh, sets in the backcourt. It's a good one. Unfortunately, Linus Weber can't convert. It was the right idea. And Verona, a 19-14 app on Monza. Oh, remember. They are two sets behind. Modena at the back. But then Padova found some form. How about that for a swing? Yes, two sets behind overall in the season. The young opposite hitter back on to serve. Will he get a few more points this time? Depends on how it goes from the line, I'd have thought. Oh, that one just gets punched into the crowd. Back comes Yoan de Leal. That block doesn't find the floor. Zimmermann. Smart shot off the block. Erik Loebke, 22-19. A lot of favourites for this set now. Long period in between timeouts. That period was taken 16-11 by Padova. Has helped his team to stay in the match. Bruno will get us underway. In the fourth. And once again, it's Padova who win the opening point. Good serve and a good pass by the libero. Ran Takahashi. Lovely set. Jess Zimmermann, think hipster. Taking it away.
