Matey Kaziyski with a key role for fifth place and participation in the Challenge Cup for Milan

Bulgarian volleyball legend Matey Kaziyski was once again in the spotlight, this time in the decisive clash for fifth place in Serie A, which secures a spot in the European Challenge Cup. The outside hitter played a strong match with 12 points and spearheaded Allianz Milano's comeback against La Valsa Group Modena – 1:3 (25-18, 21-25, 19-25, 19-25). 💪

After Modena's domination in the first set, Kaziyski and his teammates turned the tide of the match, and the MVP of the encounter was Ferre Reggers with 17 points. The victory secures Milano's participation in the Challenge Cup for the 2025/26 season – a consolation after they competed in the Champions League this year, where they were eliminated in the playoff stage by Halkbank Ankara after a 'golden set'.

🏐Top Scorers:

  • Kaziyski:12 points (10 from attack, 1 ace, 1 block)

  • Reggers:17 points (5 blocks!, 1 ace) – match leader

  • Buchegger:15 points for Modena

📌 With this victory, Allianz Milano concludes the season on a positive note and with a clear goal for next year – a breakthrough in Europe.
