The game of nerves continued in the third set - Roma were trying to get away (13-10), but Chieri were breathing down their necks all the time (15-15). However, the hosts of the Eternal City showed a greater lever of determination and made an important step towards the victory after 25-19 in their favour.

The team of Giuseppe Cuccarini prevailed in attack (65 to 57 winning spikes), and scored more aces (six to three). However, Chieri’76 were better on blocking (six to four), but let more own errors affect the score (22 to 20).
