Benjamin Stevenson sent the ball into the net and Posillipo regained a 2-goal lead. It turned out that it was the last goal in the match. Posillipo earned three points and climbed from 12th to 10th place.

Trieste didn’t play the best it could, but it defeated Anzio (16:11). Trieste built a 5-goal lead,step-by-step, and entered the final quarter leading 12:7. Each side scored four goals in the final eight minutes.

De Akker defeated Bogliasco after a big battle. The Bologna-based team entered the final period with a 12:10 advantage.
