Ravenna's team lost 3:1 against Cuneo's team in Piedmont, despite winning the first set. Deprived of the injured Zlatanov, who had to withdraw from the match at the last minute due to flu, Ravenna started strong but failed to maintain the pace in the subsequent sets.

A key highlight of the match was the presence of the president of the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation, Lyubomir Ganev, who is a former Cuneo player and was invited for a charitable cause.

After Tallone distinguished himself with 6 points and 75% attack efficiency in the first set, Ravenna's game collapsed in the subsequent parts. The change in balance occurred at 9-9 in the second set, when Alick entered the game and began to dominate with effective serving. Cuneo's nine aces, five of which were from the Estonian receiver, left Ravenna no chance.

Despite the 33 points from Tallone and Guzzo (17 and 16), as well as eight blocks, Consar failed to find stability and committed 24 service errors. This was the fifth loss in the last six matches against Cuneo, who continue to be a difficult opponent for the team. Cuneo climbed to 40 points and solidified their fifth position in the standings.
Ravenna is now 5 points behind Prata and Brescia, and has an important away game against Cantù on Sunday.
We remind you that Vladimir Nikolov also became a champion with Cuneo in 2010, when in the final of the so-called V-day, they defeated Trento with Matey Kaziyski and Tsvetan Sokolov in their squad and Radostin Stoychev as coach.
