Long rally (Italy - France)

Great action between Italy and France. Team coached by Laurent Tillie claimed their third straight victory in Group B, this way upsetting a crowd of 8200 fans in attendance at Palavela. Italy’s spiker Osmany Juantorena commented: "Even though we got to see a very good performance from our side for the two first sets, it’s really hard to lose the match as we did. France deserved this victory, and though it really hurts now we have to move on, and we will prepare for the next round. After leading by two sets to none, we almost stopped playing, tiredness didn’t help us and we lost a match that seemed almost won".
