After a dominant first and second set for the visitors, Piacenza tried to offer resistance in the third set, but Naomori Keita and Rok Možič were unyielding in attack, giving the hosts no chance for a comeback. Keita was above all with 17 points (2 blocks, 1 ace), surpassing the 500-point mark since the start of the championship. The Slovenian international added 11 points (2 blocks) for the win. Setter Konstantin Abaev scored 5 points (2 blocks, 3 aces). Not a single Piacenza player crossed the 10-point mark. During the match, Piacenza fans raised a banner with the inscription "Time for men!!!", implying they want more from their favorites.
