Nothing to be done for Feba Civitanova who raises the white flag 63-52 on the field of the league leaders Mantova.

The match. After the tip-off, Civitanova tries to hold off the home team: Perini (photo) and Binci reply to Fusari and Dell'Olio who sign the overtaking at 16-13 at 10'. In the second period the music doesn't change: Mantova tries to extend and reaches a double-digit advantage, with Civitanova clinging to its percentages to not lose too much ground (36-25 at 20').

Back on the parquet, things get worse for the guests, who suffer the aggressiveness of Mantova that takes over. Feba scores with an eyedropper, unlike the locals who take off thanks to the baskets of Fusari and Llorente (54-34 at 30').

In the final period Civitanova is with its back to the wall, but with pride it does not give up and point by point tries to climb back up the slope. The guests get closer, but time passes and Mantova in the end holds out and seals the victory on 63-52.
