The recovery is crackling. A few minutes after the resumption of hostilities, 17 minutes from the end of the match, Rebecca Taccardi inserts herself between the rival defense and then throws an unstoppable diagonal shot: it is the shot that wins the 2-0 point. Valdagno metaphorically goes to the corner, but with 10 laps of the clock to go a strike arrives rigor that could reopen things. However, Lorenzato is hypnotized from the spot by Meneghello who blocks.

On the track it’s all-out: Matera defends itself, Valdagno tries. The guests discover each other, leaving space for counterattack by the hosts that, unless 30 seconds from the end, they find a way to close the game with Rebecca Taccardi’s brace which seals the final 3-1.
