Consar Ravenna qualified for the semi-finals of the Italian Cup in Serie A2 after a 3:1 (17:25, 25:23, 25:17, 25:20) victory over Rinascita Lagonegro in the quarter-final match.

After a shaky first set, Valentini's team took the initiative, led in attack by the Bulgarian opposite Hristiyan Dimitrov, who scored 19 points, +12, 3 blocks, and achieved 47% attack efficiency, being the main scorer in crucial moments. His pressure on the block and effectiveness in attack tipped the scales in favor of Ravenna after the second set.

Samuil Valchinov also got his minutes in the first and second sets, contributing 5 points, showing stability in reception and useful work on the block, where he made 2 direct points.

Manuel Zlatanov also contributed significantly in offense, scoring 18 points, +2, 1 ace, 5 blocks, and maintaining Ravenna's high tempo in the decisive sets with consistent attack and blocking.

In the semi-final on February 4th in Pineto, Ravenna will face Abba Pineto, and the performance of Hristiyan Dimitrov and the reliability of Samuil Valchinov provide grounds for optimism in the camp of the 'Bulgarian' team from Romagna.
