Cuneo vs Perugia | Italian Volleyball LVF SerieA1 2025/2026

Kamil Semenyuk chips it off the net tape. Granovic goes on the reverse. Strehla gets another swing. Joined the club on the last day of December. It's too good. Couple of really tasty points then to get things underway. Uso again, another good serve. Nice pass from Zaitsev. Little ball is contained. Zaitsev gets the next swing and he's been absolutely planted by Bentara. 6-4. Bentara, off pace serve. Very nice. See what I mean about Strehla? He is some player. Good start in the game. He serves next. Uso returns to the frontcourt. Strehla sent out towards the line but a good pass from the young Frenchman. From Kodarin. And Strehla puts it away for 10-8. Capelli. Ace! You are kidding me! Uso changes up the service pattern. On it. Chance to score here. Gianelli goes wide to Ishikawa. Concentrated on getting it into a good frontcourt position. Good pass from Strehla. They are having an absolute ball right now, Kunio. He just went over. It's magnificent. What a dig from Gianelli. And what a swing from Semenyuk who thinks he's got a touch on the blockers here. Boranovic has to decide with conviction where he's going to go with the set. Well, it's an out-of-system ball. Zaitsev gets the reuse. Great recycle. And Feral with a demolition job down the line. That's one of the best line shots you'll see this season. Someone's seen the funny side of something. Behind Kodarin. Nice pass, nice pipe. We're seeing some really good stuff here. Once again, Gianelli will be focusing there. Feral has to put a big serve in play. He does. Out-of-system ball then. Ishikawa is roofed. Too tight to the net. Zaitsev joins the block. Omi serves, plays defence. Doesn't get to the ball, though. It's a good shot. It's a lovely pass. And Feral, Strelo even, is roofed out of sight. And what a shame. He's had such a good first set. Semenyuk to serve again. This is a good serve. Cavaccini keeps it off the floor. Feral hits a good ball, but Kolachi's on it. He's really finding a way to score tonight, isn't he? He hasn't had any of those gorgeous... Lovely shot. Now Capelli. Oh, he's changed his serve. Changed to jump float. I think that's a shame. Lovely setting. And the blockers just didn't know where to go. Superbly done. Slow enough to let them turn the ball. And they're doing it well. Capelli and Kodarin. It's a tip-fest. He's going to hit one at some point, Ventara. Panovic again roasts his serve. Three blockers on it. That has to be covered. If you're going to risk three blockers and the ball is high and wide, the wing spikers will see it. Still haven't seen the best of him from the serving line. Keeps it simple. Some shot. That's a slightly quicker ball from Panovic to Kodarin. That one's more powerful. Over ball, over pass is set quite brilliantly to Panovic. And Ivan Zaitsev had read the script. Made to wait. Good ball, good pass. And a brilliant, brilliant result for Perugia. Lovely feed on the pipe. I think Angelo Lorenzetti would like to see his team really stick to the task. Great serve. Free ball. Well, almost a free ball. Passed well by Kolachi. Out of the pipe. Semenyuk is basically running the show right now. Six up and pounding the serve. Zaitsev put on his backside. Somehow Panovic keeps it in play. And Ishikawa slashes it straight into the block. Managed to get themselves started in set three. Good serve from Kodarin. Superb hit from Ishikawa. Absolutely fixed his point and drilled it. Agreed by the blockers, but... He's in Rio, over to Italy. Thumping ball again. Oh, that's a magnificent block. Bentara next to Rousseau. That's probably the biggest unit. Man on court doesn't quite manage to get hands on that. Yeah, it is the 23-year-old in the number 22 shirt. Does serve. Fantastic serve. Oh, what a get. What a get from Gianelli. Oh, it's proper volleyball from Gianelli. And he fancied the block there, but he's going to get to set to try and finish the point. Bentara can't do it. Wide to Ishikawa. Ishikawa does. Two of the best defensive touches you will see. Fair bit tonight. They're playing well. Good service. Strelao tested. Too tight. Free ball. Horrible from Ishikawa. Semenyuk doesn't finish. Feral does. That might be costly, you know. That could prove to be a costly point for Perugia. Puts it in with real pace. Trouble here for Perugia. And it's a superb block. Zvorenok is roofed. Salah off pace. Good collection from Zvorenok. That was not the best set from Gianelli. Quite a few rotations now with the serve. Goes full on. Good pass. Feral out of the back line. Has he missed it? He has. That's the game. And Susuza Sky Perugia take it in straight sets.
