Italy - USA (The Olympics 2004, SET4)

Battle between Italy and USA in The Olympics 2004. Look fight at the end of the game. The fourth set was a thriller! Both teams fought to win each rally and neither side wanted to concede the advantage. Italy took the early lead, but the Americans were the first team to reach the 20-points-limit, (20:18). However, Italy called on all their experience and their ability to handle difficult situations to seal the victory, great match of Andrea Sartoretti, who scored 18 points in that match. Clayton Stanley, spiker of USA NT scored 21 points, but in that match he wasn't so effective (he has just 34% efficiency in attack). Andrea Giani captain of Italy national team on the press conference said: "It was a tough game but we were much more determined in crucial moments of the game. Certainly it is a great result for our team but we have to stay focused for the difficult matches to come".
