Rivals at the start, periodically exchanging breaks, got to the balance 10:10, after which the Surgut team went into the lead: Krsmanovic starred, Korotaev scored an ace, and after the block, Radjab converted Biryukov to the final game, 13:10. Then the diagonal Surgut player forced the opponent to throw the ball out of the playing area with a crazy powerful serve, 16:12. Sosnovoborets' time-out did not improve the situation: another powerful serve from Radjab and Ivovic sends the ball into touch, and the gap in the score reaches five points.
