SuperLega newcomer Yuasa Battery Grottazzolina, with Georgi Tatarov, started its debut among the best in Italy by earning a point against vice-champion Monza - 2:3 (23-25, 25-16, 30-32, 26-24, 9-15). Two thousand one hundred sixty-two spectators watched their team in their first match in the elite league. Georgi Tatarov played briefly and scored one point. The hosts can only regret not having managed to take more than a point from this match, in the absence of Mosca, Lavagni, and Averill from the vice-champions, as well as the still unrecovered Juantorena. New signing Zaytsev will play after the third round. The third set was the most dramatic, when the hosts had two set points, but the visitors, represented by Szwarc and Rohrs, managed to turn the score in favor of Monza after 35 minutes of play. Szwarc finished with the most points in the match - 30. For the hosts, Antonov was above all with 17, the other Canadian international Damyanenko finished with 7.
On October 6th, the SuperLega newcomer visits Modena.
