Romeo Sorrento suffered an away defeat to ABBA Pineto with a score of 0:3 (12:25, 17:25, 22:25) in a league match. The team remains focused on the final match of the regular season, where they will seek a more positive finish in front of their home crowd.

The match started evenly, but already in the middle of the first set, the hosts applied serious pressure with their serves and blocks, which led to a decisive 25:12. In the second set, Sorrento showed a better performance and kept the game competitive until the middle, but a run by Pineto tipped the scales for a 25:17 finish. The third set was the most contested, in which the guests played point for point and even had their chances, but in the end, the class of the hosts prevailed for the final 25:22.

Against this backdrop, Bulgarian international Preslav Petkov played a solid match at the net. He finished with 5 points (1 ace, 2 blocks), and stood out with good blocking positioning and effectiveness in quick attacks through the middle. In the third set, his interventions at the net specifically helped Sorrento stay in the game until the final rallies.

The next challenge is a home match against Tinet Prata di Pordenone on March 29, where the team will seek a victory for a stronger finish to the season.
