Goosebumps
Yenisei (Krasnoyarsk): Osipov - Murashko, Filippov – Maksimov, Dmitriev – Kitchen, Janutov
"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov – Papazov, Kurbatov – Shevlyakov, Rodychev - Slobodyanuk, Vyshnevetsky
Maxim Bocharov continues to recover as part of Yenisei, we still have Artem Masko out of the game. And Vyacheslav Rudnev started the match with an ace, and after losing serve he gave way to Dmitry Kurbatov. The Surgut players now start every set with this tactic and benefit from time to time.
On Rodichev's serves, the guests jumped with 7:6 on 9:6, let the hosts level (10:10) and again took a step forward after a productive attack and an ace from Slobodyanyuk, 13:11. And again parity, 15:15. An even game reached the mark 18:18, after which Kirillov served out, but Murashko scored his first ace, 18:20. Gazprom-Yugra timeout did not help: another knockout serve from the diagonal “Yenisey” and Kukhno completes the game. The guests' second timeout led to Murashko's second ace, 18:22, and only after that Roman served into the net.
Then the Surgut residents had a chance to catch on, but Kuhno's attack into touch via video review turned into a touch of the block, 19:23. Problems in reception led to the loss of two more goals. The overall set was equal and collapsed in the end: here Murashko’s cut serve helped the hosts, and lost confidence in the actions of guests.
In the opening of the second game, Shevlyakov’s ace on Yanutov was memorable - an extremely rare case. It was after this that the Surgut team began to increase their advantage: two blocks to Dmitriev plus a freeball, played through Kurbatova, 9:6. Dmitriev's attack doesn't work again, Slobodyanyuk converts the final game (10:6), and Ruslan Galimov comes out instead of Semyon. His serves press Gazprom-Yugra’s team to the net, where Kirillov is forced to “load” Kurbatov - he first throws the ball into touch, then misses and touches the outgoing ball on the block, 11:10.
Block comes to the rescue: Shevlyakov covers his counterpart Maksimov one-on-one, and Rodichev alone covers Murashko, 14:10. Rodichev remembers his youth, scoring "four by four", Papazov makes a freeball, 16:11, но вновь в дело вступает «пушка» Мурашко на подаче. Выбитый прием плюс чистый эйс – 16:14. «Енисей» после доигровки Галимова вроде бы подкрался вплотную, но два просмотра – на попадание Руслана в поле (not) и касание блока (тоже нет) оставляют нам зазор, 19:16.
Хозяева посыпались в четвертой зоне, обстреливая ауты, Rodichev scores a difficult goal on a triple block between Filippov's hands, 23:19. In the next long rally, Kirillov hammers in the passing ball., but he himself touches the net on the block two seconds earlier. The hosts have a chance - because Murashko is serving. Powerful Shot, Slobodyanyuk kicks the ball up, Rodichev makes a second pass with an error, 23:21. Gazprom-Ugra time-out, Roman serves out, and on a set point Shevlyakov covers Filippova, 25:21.
At the beginning of the third set, Enisey ran away 1:6 efforts, mainly, Roman Murashko. But it’s also easy for the advantage to melt away: Osipov persistently wanted Nikita Kukhno’s self-realization, but Rodichev tormented the finisher in the reception, and the block was “finished”, 5:6. Papazov drags Murashko's attack in defense and scores the end of the game himself, 7:8.
Rodichev again single-handedly catches the diagonal "Yenisei", after which Roman does not place the ball in the court, 11:11. Here we would consolidate our success, but everything happens exactly the opposite: Murashko is accurate in the playoffs, Kuhno pushed the ball off the block in a long rally, what became clear after an even longer video viewing, and then Filippov scored a passing goal - we had a reception on Maksimov’s glider, 11:15. Kirillov once again touched the net on the block, 13:17…
Maxim went to improve: finally scored his passing ball and scored an ace, 16:19. To get your opponent, need a system game, but Surgut residents flare up sporadically: block on Kukhno and ace by Rudnev slightly reduce the distance, Murashko hitting the rope on a freeball brings us the 20th point, but between these local successes lies the sighted work of “Yenisei”: feeding pressure, block, successful attacks from the "four". This is exactly where Kukhno puts the point, 20:25.
In the fourth set, we again persuade ourselves to escape - 6:3. But Osipov ruins the move and Rodichev doesn’t save from the back line, 7:6, The kitchen scores the passing one - 8:8. Rodichev with a crazy attack after another thwarted move (and Dmitriev served it perfectly) тащит команду буквально зубами, но Курбатов подает лишь по большим церковным праздникам, 9:9.
Очередной эйс выписывает Мурашко, 10:12. Его же подача из разряда «сам себя обманул» – мяч даже не долетает до сетки – и два блока Филиппову в одном розыгрыше восстанавливают кислотно-щелочной баланс, 12:12, который держится до 15:15. A little later, Kurbatov wisely did not hit the passing ball, played freeball, received an awkward pass from Kirillov and sent the ball into touch, 16:18. So, closer to the end, we gave the break ball to the opponent with our own hands and, instead of a balance, we immediately received an ace from Dmitriev, 16:19. Perhaps, this was the decisive part of the set.
Ant, pulling the ball from behind the antenna, hits out of bounds - but the video records a barely noticeable touch on the block, 17:20. This is where the adventure ends, opponents reached the mark 21:24, Slobodyanyuk starred in a complex formation from the second zone, Yuri Filippov took a time out, after which his team confidently scored through the center, 22:25.
The “Murashko factor” played against us – primarily, on the pitch. Roman served strikingly and serially just then, когда это было необходимо его команде. Да и в целом проигранный прием не всегда позволял Максиму Кириллову работать с блоком соперника. Отличный матч провел Алексей Родичев, весьма неплохо смотрелся Виталий Папазов, хороши были наши центры, не провалился и Слободянюк – но всего этого не хватило, чтобы перебить аргументы хозяев. В их исполнении мы не увидели какой-то фееричной игры (если не брать в расчет действия Романа Мурашко, сделавшего, in fact, разницу), но опытный Александр Янутов выдержал прием (в отличие от своего визави Никиты Вишневецкого), а остальные не позволяли себе серийных провалов, отработав достаточно чисто для непростой победы.
