A equipa de Marcel Matz não cedeu perante a reação contrária e foi ponto a ponto, em passos firmes, a caminho do desejado 25.º final. Aos 21-17 pensou-se que a tarefa estaria garantida, ou quase. O quase parecia enorme…
And when the Italians started between the 21st and 20th, they ended up with Luz, who provided a goal in sight for Falharia. The feeling that it was reversed between the 24th and the 21st and that it would possibly have been lost when Piacenza was reduced to the 24th. 22. Finally, you incarnate need only a relapsing pause, that your master asks you to do it at one time. No answer, derradeiro ponto conquered, to date the set (25-22).
