Three liters of Validol

"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov – Papazov, Kurbatov – Shevlyakov, Rodychev - Slobodyanuk, Nagaec
From the first draws, the trend of the evening emerged: The Nagaets systematically carried fantastic balls in defense and held the reception, and Zheleznyakov scored and finished off over and over again. The Surgut team tried to get ahead in the score over and over again due to the completion of the games., but the owners stayed close. After another masterpiece by Nagayets, Rodichev unscrewed the emergency ball from the block, 15:13, but Zheleznyakov kept eating, and Kirillov, with his own attack, found the rope and out, 16:16. In the end Zheleznyakov decides again, and Rodichev landed in the block three times not without the “help” of his setter, guiding transmission to the block. Our captain's latest failure led to the loss of the set.
In the second game, the guests started very cheerfully, 5:1 after Papazov wins back from the blockers. Kurbatov scores a passing ball on Rodichev's serve, 9:4. Ace answers Zheleznyakov, and Filippov delicately throws the ball into the corner of the fifth zone, 11:9. Diagonal ASK drives the ball under the skin of the Surgut block, 13:12. Pavel is unstoppable - removed (16:15), knocks out a freeball with a serve and finishes the game himself (16:16). Slobodyanyuk and Papazov fail on the net (16:18). ASK catches the wave, Makarenko, through experience, brings the gap to critical – 18:21.
At this moment, Artem Ivanov appears on the site just in time, a little earlier Slobodyanyuk is replaced by his namesake Masko. remind, that all our already famous comebacks happened with Ivanov. And things went well: Papazov gets an exchange, and Rodichev writes out the first block to Zheleznyakov, 22:21. Dranishnikov takes a time out, after which Shevlyakov places an ace under the baseline - 23:21! Papazov scores a set point with a standing attack, which we implement on the first try: Kurbatov catches two of Zakhvatenkov’s attacks with a block and Makarenko covers himself tightly, 25:21.
Gazprom-Yugra entered the third game with Ivanov and Masko and immediately indicated an advantage - 6:3. Dima Filippov left the site earlier in the draw - as it turned out, due to recurrence of injury. Khaibulov, who came out instead, began searching for height and pace with Zheleznyakov. So far the point is, we run away with 7:5 on 11:5: The Naga man plays the wizard again, Zheleznyakov and Pyatyrkin are closed by a block. Khaibulov tries to redeem himself with an ace (16:11), but the exchange still goes in our favor - block to Titov, 18:12. Antonov comes on instead of Pyatyrkin, but that doesn't change the situation, Masko scores almost everything, and even manages to protect the rebound with his foot, after which Zheleznyakova covers the next block, 23:17. Khaibulov makes his second ace, 23:19, but Papazov scores a set point. Mistakes in its implementation, but Rodichev is impeccable, 25:20.
The fourth batch immediately went nose to nose. Khaibulov differs from Zheleznyakov in pace and Rodichev puts the ball in line, 10:8. After a short time the picture changes: Masko does not beat the block from the spot, Ivanov removes Zheleznyakov’s discount along the net from his comrade’s hands, 12:13. Papazov, Masko and the block to the former captain of the Surgut team Makarenko return us a small handicap, 15:13, but another setback follows - we lose five goals in one formation on Zheleznyakov’s powerful serves, 15:18! Alexey Rudakov performs a double substitution, Kirillov and Rudnev come out, Vyacheslav starts confidently - he withdraws and finishes the game after his serve, 17:18.
The endgame begins, in which we eat up a two-point gap: Makarenko shoots out, not finding the touch of hands, and Masko, at the end of a long rally, spins the ball into touch from the block, 22:22. Super-extended validol draw - and Rudnev, distinguished in defense, seems to hit backhand out of bounds, but the video viewer finds the block touch, 23:22. Next was the meat: Zheleznyakov saves a set point for ASK, 24:23, Rudnev returns the situation to balance. Khaibulov plays exclusively through the diagonal, who is on fire is removed, throws a breaking serve and... gets blocked on a freeball, 25:25. Zheleznyakov doesn’t know, what is "acting out", in another long episode, he takes a risk on an emergency ball from the baseline and does not break the rope, 27:26. Masko doesn't serve, Rudnev returns the match point with a block kick, Antonov, who attacks Surgut’s team into touch, seals the victory.
Benefit match of Zheleznyakov, loss of Filippov, gorgeous Nagaets, Papazov on fire and Masko's excellent return, Rudnev, not at a loss in the difficult ending... The match is fire, in which Gazprom-Yugra selflessly achieved a very important victory from all points of view. We are a gang!
