Brescia continued its winning streak in the Italian Serie A1, but it faced a challenging match in the 16th round.
The runner-up visited Palermo to compete against Telimar, which put up strong resistance in a high-scoring encounter. At halftime, Brescia held a narrow lead of 10:9. In the third period, Brescia scored six goals while conceding just three, extending its lead to 16:12 before the final quarter. However, Telimar started the fourth period strong, scoring the first three goals and cutting the deficit to just one goal (15:16). Brescia quickly responded, netting three consecutive powerplay goals to secure the victory. Del Basso and Popadic each contributed four goals to Brescia’s 20:16 win, while Telimar’s standout player, Saveljic, scored five goals.
Pro Recco’s game against De Akker has been postponed to Wednesday due to the Bologna-based team’s participation in the Conference Cup this week.
Third-placed Savona showed no mercy to Ortigia – 18:8. Ten Savona’s players got on the scoresheet. Hungarian Oliver Leinweber netted four. He is currently the top scorer in Serie A1 with 71 goals.
Trieste stormed past Canottieri – 13:6, with five goals from Vuk Draskovic. He scored all five of his goals from penalty shots.
