ASK (Nizhny Novgorod): Filippov – Zheleznyakov, Zakhvatenkov – Titov, Nikitin – Pyatyrkin, Ischenko

Surgutians confidently led in a debut - 9:5, And after the implementation of Fribol Papazov - 14:9. ASK kept afloat at the expense of Zheleznyakov, and then on the presentations of Titov, Kirillov swam slightly: I underestimated my papazov and gave past the hands of a bloodless, as a result 15:14. And on a series of serfs Zheleznyakov, guests even stepped forward with Breakov gap, covering in the fourth zone the flawless to this point Kostadinov, 16:18.

A summary of both time-outs, the owners came up with an idea, how to return balance: the first block to Zheleznyakov, 20:20. Papazov did not take the chance to take the lead, and Zheleznyakov’s shot into touch caught Rodichev’s finger, 20:22. Masko replaced the captain, and the guests carried their break advantage to a set point, Zheleznyakov tried again (22:24). Titov hit the rope, the ball bounced on it and did not fall over, and took away the decisive meal, naturally, Zheleznyakov on the withdrawn ball.

At the beginning of the second game, Filippov again gives everything to his diagonal, and Pavel doesn’t let you down. But Masko, who remained on the site, joined the shootout, scoring a couple of hard goals (5:3), Kostadinov worked in defense and on the net, Papazov scored, Masko gave an excellent serve - 9:4. The picture came out, like a set earlier, and the guests also made an attempt to rectify the situation: 14:11 then attacks Zheleznyakov. Kirillov responded with two pipes through Kostadinov, which the, coming to the front line, found a discount on a low ball in the corner of the first zone - 16:12.

Surgut residents could score a demoralizing point, when Kostadinov first pulled out Zheleznyakov's shot in defense, and the second diagonal shot was blocked by a block by Masko and Shevlyakov. But Masko hit the net, 19:15. Ace Zakhvatenkova (19:17) gives ASK hope, which Masko buries, Kirillov’s excellent pass in pursuit of Beskrovny and Nikitin’s attack into touch from the second zone, 22:18. Only Zheleznyakov did not interrupt the end game of the Surgut team, Kostadinov put an end to the set with an elegant discount.

At the start of the third game, Kirillov reopened the center of the grid, Filippov responded in kind - through Titov, 5:5. Zheleznyakov is beautiful again and no worse than Masko, who made an ace on Pyatyrkino, 9:7. Makarenko appears on the court and takes some time to get used to the technique.. After an unsuccessful reception, Dmitry Shevlyakov threw the passing ball, 14:9. Ace Kostadinova in Ishchenko, 16:11. ACK has one argument, but a worker - Zheleznyakov. Pavel scores another goal after two touches on the block and in defense, but until the ball touched the floor, hits the net, 20:14. He immediately corrects himself and takes part in a double replacement.: at the Kolmakov and Khaibulov site. Apparently, ASK coaching staff decided not to fight for the set, giving the leaders a rest. Against this background, Nikitin hits touch (23:16) and gives way to Antonov. But the game is already done - on a set point, Kolmakov, in a long shootout with Kostadinov, ends the episode with a shot into touch.

For the fourth set, Andrey Dranishnikov returned the starting lineup. Zakhatenkov – ace, Zheleznyakov – three attacks in a row, 4:7. The hosts are catching up: Filippov is forced to correct the move and hits the net, Kostadinov closes Zheleznyakov’s attack, 8:8. The owners are beginning to turn the situation in their favor: doesn’t work with Papazov - works with Shevlyakov, Masko receives and scores (13:12), Bloodless arranges an ace incident: Pyatyrkin and Nikitin parted at the reception (16:14). Makarenko replaces Nikitin, and Papazov first had a great unused chance to convert the game - his shot down the line went out of bounds, and then an unsuccessful meal (16:16).

Instead of separation - balance, and instead of Kirillov and Papazov on the site Ivanov and ... Serov. Such a sudden combination does not bring dividends and the guests begin to pull the set in their favor: Makarenko gets back from the block with experience and tears off his fingers (19:22), and after the successful attack of Bloodless, a squabble arose between the players through the net, fast, however, extinct. Zheleznyakov, in fact, the game said it all: 20:23 and the saved set floats away from the hands of the owners, Kirillov and Masko did not gain anything with discounts in the very endgame.

The opponents entered the tiebreaker supercharged, but the guests quickly burned out. Rodichev gets a break with a grandmaster attack, 4:2, Papazov throws beautifully into the empty fifth zone, 5:2. In the decisive set, the diagonal Surgutian woke up, scoring any goals, including emergency, 9:5. On breaking balls there is always “invisible” work of blocking and defense, but then Nizhny Novgorod residents began to give it themselves: Zakhtatenkov shoots deep, Pyatyrkin hits the emergency ball there too, but the ball finds Shevlyakov’s touch on the block, 10:6. The most powerful serve from ASK - the reception literally flies to Kirillov, who manages to lift the ball into the air without making a mistake, and Papazov scores this too. Nizhny Novgorod residents take desperate risks and make mistakes: Zheleznyakov hits the outgoing ball into the antenna, Pyatyrkin's deflected ball goes wide, The invaders seem to be being removed, but the video review records a millimeter out and this is a verdict, 14:6. Pyatyrkin, having seven match points on your opponent's serve, takes risks - mesh.

Zheleznyakov, of course, wonderful, but ASC failed in reception, which deprived Filippov of a variety of actions, and on heavy balls the finishers helped out every once in a while. Surgutyans, vice versa, the final play was excellent, and Papazov redeemed himself with a powerful finishing spurt. Honored, but a little delayed victory.

Comments after the game:

Head coach of ASK Andrey Dranishnikov: Lots of own marriage, According to statistics, we lost a lot in this. And so it's an equal game, It's always hard to play in Surgut, I know, I was in these conditions. We could have played somewhere cleaner, but it turned out how it turned out. We still have a long way to go, we have a game with Orenburg, she will decide more. Even if we won today, we would still need to beat Orenburg, and then there’s the last round. Please, solve your problems.

Senior Coach of Gazprom-Yugrs Alexey Rudakov: We started well in the first game, led by a wide margin, then in each formation they began to give away one or two points and came to an equal ending, which we lost. We have three equal finishers, who replace each other - everyone can come out and add momentum to the team. I don't want to single anyone out, no one dropped out, I want to say a huge thank you to all the guys.
