Rana Verona created a sensation by defeating Sir Susa Vim Perugia 3-2 (22-25, 26-28, 25-14, 25-19, 15-12) in the semi-final of the tournament in Bologna. For the second consecutive year, a new team has reached the final of the competition. The Veronese confirmed the new trend in the Italian SuperLega, where anything is possible and where the difference between the leading teams and the contenders is minimal. Rana Verona took another step forward in its project, which year after year adds new elements to the squad. Today, the team showed courage and effectiveness against Sir, who failed to demonstrate their familiar high level from recent years. The absence of Plotnytskyi proved crucial for the balance in Lorenzetti's team. On the other hand, Keita and his teammates compensated for the absence of the injured Dzavoronok. In the first two sets, Perugia dominated, but Verona did not give up. In the third and fourth sets, the Veronese showed impressive play, especially in attack, where Mozic (28 points) and Keita (30 points) distinguished themselves.

The tie-break started strong for Verona (5-3), who maintained their lead until the end. The decisive point came after a block by Zingel against Ben Tara. Statistically, Verona impressed with better serving and blocking, especially in the last three sets. Perugia, despite a good attacking percentage, was not effective enough in the other elements. For Verona, this is a historic success that sends them to their first final in the tournament.
