WHO IS THE OWNER IN UGRA

The hosts started the match with Glivenko in the diagonal, Bisset and Ursov in the replay and Chefranov as a substitute central blocker. The guests in the diagonal had the second match Spodobets, and a couple of players at the start were Leontiev and Kostylenko.

The activity of Krsmanovich on the block and in the attack brought the first break points to the Surgut team - 4:1. The visitors saved a three-point difference after Ursov's attack into touch, 7:6, but Dovgan immediately joined in - attack and block Spodobtsu, Glivenko discount per block, 10:6. The Nizhnevartovians still cherished hopes of a chase, while on the serve at the count 17:14 Ursov did not come out. First, Leontyev was a mess in the fourth zone, who was immediately replaced by Petrov, and then a series of varied and precise, like a surgeon's scalpel, Kirill left Samotlor without an attack at all. Makarov solved pre-game problems easily and naturally - through Glivenko and twice through Dovgan. Petrov withdrew on the third attempt already on a set point from the hosts, 24:15. He managed to earn another point, but Bisset, with a blow from a block into touch, stated the inevitable, 25:16.

In the opening of the second set, the hosts made the difference thanks to aces from Chefranov and Bisset – 6:4. However, the guests withstood the blow - Kovalikov, who came out instead of Sinitsa in the first set, responded to Dovgan’s next success with his own ace, launched into the sideline, and three attacks from Krivets, the first of which equalized the score, 8:8, and the latter brought Samotlor ahead, 10:11. The next draw was, perhaps, key psychologically - the guests had every opportunity to take another step forward, but Andreev pulled out the “dead” ball in insurance, and Glivenko closed Kostylenko’s attack one-on-one, 11:11.

After that, the hosts shook themselves up and went into the lead, pinning Kostylenko and Spodobets with a block and earning another ace, this time named after Glivenko, 15:11. Further more: Leontyev, who entered the fourth zone, also cannot finish to the floor, Kovalikov's discount does not work, but Ursov, in a difficult situation, sent the ball exactly into the corner of the first zone, 18:12. When the score reached 23:18, the intrigue was almost revived by Denis Ignatiev, who debuted this season. He went out to serve and gave out three of his signature gliders, completely knocking out Bisset and Ursov, who came to his aid. Krsmarovich saved the situation, successfully attacking a knocked down ball from the third meter – 24:20. Then came another chaotic prank, and the barely emerging intrigue was finally calmed down by the same Krsmarovich, 25:21.

In the third game, the hosts began to take noticeably less risks on serve., which provided guests with a comfortable meal and, Consequently, equality of score, 9:9. Then the Nizhnevartovians managed a short escape on Kovalikov’s gliders to Ursova - without good finishing, defects fell on the grid, 9:12. After the time-out, Gazprom-Yugra grabbed onto it, what is, waiting for a break when Spodobets attacked into touch, 13:14. In the “minus one or minus two” mode, the opponents reached the mark 20:22, promising a more comfortable ending for guests. But Petrov serves out, and Dovgan covers Chivel one on one, 22:22. Samotlor time-out follows, after which Rafael Khabibullin very emotionally admonishes Ursov for his serve and he... gives an ace, mining on a small flag, but a very important handicap, 23:22. The athlete recovers his balance with an attack from the hands of blockers., Bisset responds from zone four, and the decisive goal after the final game was scored by blocking is realized by Glivenko, 25:23.

Head coach of VC "Ugra-Samotlor" (Nizhnevartovsk) Valery Pyaskovsky:

– There was a struggle only in the third game. We played poorly in the first two: the opponent had a good serve and they, in turn, coped with our submission. As usual, Krsmarovich completed a large amount of work, we haven't figured it out a bit. As for the missed third game - it's volleyball, our tactics were figured out, blocked key balls. therefore 0:3.

Binder VK "Ugra-Samotlor" (Nizhnevartovsk) Igor Kovalikov:

– In the first two sets, the opponent served well, and we found our game late. In the third game we started playing openly, when 0:2 you lose, there's nowhere else to put it off. It seems like it's starting to work out, but you saw the ending yourself, what happened.

Senior coach of VC "Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut) Yuriy Melnychuk:

– After the defeat from Ural, where all parties were equal, but in the end we gave in, it was necessary to correct the situation. The guys are in a good mood today, two parties generally performed the installation perfectly. Then “Samotlor” was rebuilt a little, added in submission, we started having difficulties with renting, but the guys are great, survived the ending and did it, what do you need. Самое главное – что меня радует – мы не сломались после обидного поражения от Уфы. Хорошо разобрали соперника и выполнили свою работу.

Central locking EC "Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut) Petar KRSMANOVI?A:

– Очень важная победа, потому что предыдущая игра не получилась, и нам было очень тяжело психологически. Сегодня после двух партий тоже было тяжело, well, что победили именно в третьем сете. Осталось еще семь игр, практически все на выезде – там надо набирать очки, мы по-прежнему боремся за плей-офф.
