Trentino vs Lube | Highlights | Italian Volleyball League 2026

And here we go officially underway Trentino with the first serve. Jordi Ramon at the inline and the easiest of side outs for the visiting two-time world champion Mattia Botolo at the inline to start for Chivitanova. Teo Fore's first swing goes high off the hands to score and we're tied at once. Flavio the hybrid at Botolo pretty good pass here comes Lepke into the block looking for the recycle but it doesn't work out that time and Mikio Leto is and Nikolov is stopped at the net Ramon is there that's got to feel good for Jordi Ramon nice move to the pin strong hands to close it down Flavio from well off the net he finds the corner Bonifante goes to Lepke and he is blocked at the net Flavio shutting it down so here we go set point for Trento with Ramon at the inline he's at the lasso Bonifante through the middle of the back row to Nikolov and he somehow finds a way as Botolo will serve into the net it goes after the timeout and that's how set number one comes to a close Trentino takes the opener 25-22 in last year's world championships as Botolo serves for Civitanova we're
