A1 M – Florentia, first defeat of the season
In the fourth round of the men's regular season, Brescia showed no mercy and handed Florentia their first defeat of the season. A tough match, as expected, against a high-quality opponent from a higher category, yet Florentia showed signs of improvement in the second half after a hesitant start. For the hosts, noteworthy were Bini's hat-trick and a good physical performance despite the harsh result influenced by the guest duo Irving – Ferrero
