"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov-Papazov, Kurbatov-Shevlyakov, Rodychev-Slobodyanyuk, Vyshnevetsky

In the first set, the equality faltered after Rodichev’s magnificent twist into the cauldron on an emergency ball after Fiel’s killer serve, 13:13. Sidenko starred, Kirillov's outgoing pass drove the same Rodichev behind the antenna, the left blow hit the block, and then Sidenko scored his first ace, 13:16. We're clinging to the block, but Kirillov touches the net, and then sends Kurbatov into the arms of Yulmukhametov, 15:19. Papazov hopeful, Markin is caught by a block, 18:19 and Kuzbass time-out.

With the score 19:20 Rudnev, who came out to serve, makes the sixth team error in this element of the set, but Krechetov serves effectively - two additional games are decided by Pakshin from the back line, 19:23. On this, properly, that's all - a low pass to Slobodyanyuk into the second zone drives the attacker under the block, 20:25.

In the opening of the second set we take a small lead - 6:3, a block was triggered on Pakshin and Kurbatov completed the game. But immediately after they received minus five: Papazov did not file, and Fiel’s glider gave Kuzbass a series of comfortable wins, 6:8. Our diagonal was removed after a timeout, Kirillov scored a passing goal after Rodichev's pass, Sidenko sent the ball into touch in the endgame of a long rally, 9:8. Magic discount from Kirillov for the head and for the block in the fourth zone, Kurbatov's powerful serve, freeball and... Shevlyakov kicks into touch, 10:10.

An equal fight is again broken by Sidenko's ace closer to the end, 16:18. Slobodyanyuk's ace helps him cling to the score., 20:22, but Fiel takes off beautifully on Krechetov’s allotted pass, 20:23. All? Not, Rodichev closes Markin in double with a single block, 22:23, and then the video review finds the home team touching the block after our captain hit, 23:23. The hosts' coaching staff receives a "mustard plaster" for delaying time, but Rudnev executes from behind the front - Kurbatov scores the passing ball, 24:23!

All in our hands: Kuzbass cannot play in an awkward formation with Sidenko in the fourth zone, but Rudnev serves into the net... Kurbatov is stopped by Fiel, Markin clogs the pipe, and on the home team’s set point, Rodichev rolls the ball along the rope into touch, 24:26.

In the third set, the hosts, on the rise, manage to escape 4:1, but Slobodyanyuk’s ace and Pakshin’s hit on the rope into touch level the situation, 5:5. Kirillov eats Markin with a block and scores two aces in a row, in the second case, supplying such force, that Markin sends the ball to the ceiling during the reception, 13:12. Rodichev insures himself and scores through touch on the second attempt, 17:15. Sidenko softened with a block, Papazov converts the emergency ball, 18:15. Another long draw, still chances, but Slobodyanyuk shoots into touch from the back line.

Pakshin knocks us out of reception, but Markin in the final game is again in the caring hands of Kirillov, 20:17. Our ending? Rodichev serves into the net, Slobodyanyuk leaves Kirillov without finishing work on Yulmukhametov’s “brick” gliders, 20:20. Well, where would we be without marriage in the end?: Bloodless, who replaced Shevlyakov, couldn’t stand it and climbed into the opponent’s airspace, Markin forced Slobodyanyuk to overdo his return with a serve.: Pakshin scores a passing ball, 22:24. Papazov is filming in the fourth zone, Slobodyanyuk takes risks on serve - not even a rope, net mesh, 23:25.

A clean sheet does not reflect the intensity of the match. There was everything - breaks, drives, swing. The bottom line is that the Surgut residents lost because of their own marriage in the end. The risk was more or less justified throughout the game, but there, where “reinforced concrete” was needed, cracks appeared. However, There is nothing to blame the team for - they fought at full strength. Somewhere the opponent turned out to be more patient, unlucky somewhere. Game lesson: cherish every point, every draw, but you need to work especially calmly at the finishing line. Simply say, much more difficult to do, but that's where the skill lies.
