Overview
- Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza beat SVG Lüneburg 3-0 in Italy, sealing the two-leg CEV Cup final after a 3-0 first-leg defeat for the Germans.
- The sets finished 25-20, 25-17, 25-21, which ended Lüneburg's hopes after two sets because only a 3-0 or 3-1 win would have forced a deciding Golden Set.
- Cuban attacker Jose Miguel Gutierrez closed out the match on Piacenza's second match point after about 50 minutes of play.
- Coach Stefan Hübner congratulated Dante Boninfante and gave minutes to reserves Joris Backhaus and Neo Laumann, saying he was proud of the team's journey.
- Game one of the German championship final is next Wednesday, with BR Volleys or VfB Friedrichshafen to be confirmed after a Sunday decider in Berlin.
