"Gazprom-Yugra" has again become a good irritant - this time for the "Neftyanik". Surgut took the first two sets, what is called, on class. Two aces of Dovgan (13:8) and almost calm ending in the first set (25:21), but Akhaminov and Rakhmatullin, who came out towards the end, have already shown their teeth.

Attempts to extract intrigue from the confrontation between Yenisei and Ural were unsuccessful - Ural did not really want to invest, and Enisey simply could not do it after the difficult matches the day before.
