Perugia opened the match with Simone Giannelli directing the offense alongside opposite Wout Reggers, outside hitters Kamil Semeniuk and Oleh Plotnytskyi, middle blockers Agostino Purgatori Sanguinetti and Agustín Loser, and libero Alessio Loreti. Itas Trentino countered with Riccardo Sbertoli and Theo Faure in the setter-opposite diagonal, Daniele Lavia and Alessandro Michieletto on the wings, Flavio Gualberto and Marko Nedeljkovic in the middle, and Gabriele Laurenzano as libero.
Trento controlled the early stages of the contest, building a 9-5 advantage in the first set. Perugia fought back behind a service run from Plotnytskyi, who turned a 13-15 deficit into a 15-15 tie with two consecutive aces, followed by Sanguinetti pushing the score from 16-16 to 19-16. Yet Trentino reclaimed the initiative late in the frame through Michieletto’s service rotation to take the opener.
The second set saw Angelo Lorenzetti’s team establish control, while Trento capitalized on early momentum to lead 10-7. Perugia steadily dismantled that lead, relying on defensive stability and a block by Loser on the sixth match point of a tense 30-28 fourth set to seal the victory.
In the second semifinal on Saturday, Cucine Lube Civitanova swept Rana Verona 3-0 with set scores of 25-18, 25-13, and 25-19, according to the Federazione Italiana Pallavolo.
