Men's B-series volleyball, Querzoli returns to winning ways away. Bigarelli drags Forlì towards safety

After the initial study phases (6-6), Querzoli breaks away: 9-13. But Romani responds in kind (surgical parallel and winning serve) and the Pesaro team ties: 15-15. Forlì clings to Bigarelli and places the counterbreak (16-18), but the arrival is a photo finish: the home team smiles. Peripolli (slash) and Bigarelli (ace in the conflict zone) sign the break at the beginning of the second act: 2-5. The parity then holds up until halfway (14-14), when Camerani spots gaps in the Pesaro wall and wallows in them: 14-17. Forlì cements the advantage (19-23) with a diagonal from 'Biga'. The set is addressed and closed by a mess by Schiaratura in reception.

Real Bottega takes a hit in the third set: 0-4. The Pesaro team goes off the rails (4-10). Pirini's wall digs an abyss (7-14), Forlì manages the advantage without worries (16-23, then 17-25). Querzoli still buzzing good at the change of sides: 3-6 and 4-8 (heavenly parallel by Camerani). A surge of pride from the Marche (13-15) with a mani out by Schiaratura. Then it's Soglia-show (3 Apennine walls) and Querzoli takes off: 14-19, then 22-25.
