Verona vs Perugia Coppa Italia Semifinal 2026

Blatnitsky's first serve is a good one. It's an ace off the arms of Mozic. Well, I mentioned a lot about Ranevir. Huge hit from Mozic. Oh, they've got him again. Keita this time and Wassim Bentara is getting roughed up at the moment. Float ball toss. Hits with topspin. Drives Christensen away from the net. Keita gets a dose of his own medicine. Agustin Losek, not the tallest middleman at 197, but he knows his tricks of the trade. Bentara to serve. Goes off pace. Picked up by Stafforini. Dahlan finds a crazy angle. I mean, honestly, how on earth? How on earth? Everything shapes. Cross court and he's nailed the line. What a swing. Bentara's defence. Keita to serve. Backup setter, Brian Aguilar. Pass from Mozic. It's just wonderful to watch, isn't it? That ball was exquisite off a very good serve. To Plotnitsky. Pacer. Keita controls. Out of the pipe. Hits it sweetly. Christensen's just left everybody there. Absolutely left the block flat-footed. Totally unexpected. What a set. There are certain teams you just don't bet against. Perugia is one of them. And Rane Verona are going to have to maintain this incredible standard of volleyball to win the game, which they are doing. Real from Dahlan. One-on-one. And he's put Semenyuk down big time. Mozic again. Tim Mozic will be delighted with his team because this is an unbelievable start to this semi-final. From the team in black. Looking for Rane Verona to drop away from this level of play. What is that? Is that an A-quick on a pipe? I mean, this is a middle attack in most leagues. And it's been hit from the backcourt. Huge. Kalachi. Good pass. Nice swing from Losa. Defending well. Gianelli cons the blockers. But not enough. Nice finish. I really like this from Kamil Semenyuk. Third service. Good one. Dahlan from behind his shoulder. Still finds the blockers hands. Ventara trying to get his game working. Cracking serve. Beautiful pass from Stafforini. And another high hanging pipe. Hammered by Mozic. A single break. Tight pass. Christensen uses the joust well. But it's not created an opportunity. The opportunity is all Perugia's. And Wassim Ventara puts a dent in the Verona court. This is great from Perugia. They're making Verona think about other things. In set one it was all about. And you need a few extras when the level of play is like this. What a get from Gianelli. And they've managed to ping Christensen on that. Doesn't matter though. Keita still finds an angle. And he's off with all his celebrations today. We've got the wipe across the face. We got the flex. Good serve from Russo. Dahlan not been given the ball for a while. I'm not sure you can hit the ball more impressively than that. Doesn't miss that one. I mean how are you supposed to play that ball? This has hit the net played by Plotnitsky. He's been blocked straight back into his body. And Cortese has done him again. Can just explode into action and you're done. Another massive serve from Dahlan knocks Semenuk back. And the ace cannons off the Polish international and into the crowd. And he's in for Vitelli. Cortese serves well. Zingle the big Australian would have been hoping to get hold of Gianelli goes over on two. And Aiden Zingle says not on my shift. On the other side of the net Angelo Lorenzetti has used both timeouts. So it's only really challenges and subs available now. And that's that's classic Dahlan. That is just classic Dahlan. He is so mobile. Corona fans loving it. Oh that was an angry hit from Agustin Losa. The Argentinian captain. It's Perugia they need them quickly. Oh they're going to get one there. Gianelli clips the net tape but serves the ace part. Reduce the lead to two. It's a good hit. Keita with a lovely pass. And it's as easy as shooting fish. Cortese a good serve as well. Corona are not backing away from the challenge here. Soli doesn't put his first swing away. And the block from Mozic is class. Pure class. Oh Ben Ta'ara. Welcome to the party. Exceptional to win it in three. Christensen and this time Suli gets his chance to open his shoulders which he does with glee. But they've also got to remember that the block is functioning really well. Crazy pass from Dahlan off his chest and Zingle available and needed to be available. That was a brilliant out option for Christensen. They're two points away from the win. Patience is a virtue for this Verona team. Good defense from Stafforino on the out-of-system swing. Keita goes tip and puts it down to the floor against the three blockers. Plenty of space to work. And Mozic just needs a little bind. Easy pass off the tape. Oh too good. Too good from Micah Christensen. He's been doing it. Nasty three-point lead opens up and it's gone to four. Ace from the Mori Keita. 15 points in the match for him. Nuke needs to recover quickly. It's a good serve. Stafforino sets the out-of-system ball. Mozic off the block gets a reuse. And that's a crazy swing. Oh well played Perugia. Well the temptation would have been to go back to Keita on the pipe. But Christensen's mindset was to give it to Dahlan. The Brazilian squad he serves. Marco Vitelli comes into the action. Gianelli with a glance over his shoulder on the second timeout left to use for Verona. It's a lovely serve. Mozic passes high. Ball out wide to Keita. What a shot. What a shot. He's opened Perugia up there like a can of sardine. Any service is a bonus. It's a good serve. It's a great pass and it's a brave hit from Kamil Semenyuk. But the fact. Rok Mozic the captain then. Good service. Ace does it. Rana, Verona, Bali are into the final. They have demolished Perugia. Three sets to nil.
