"Dynamo-Ural": Ushkov – Pirainen, Krsmanovic – Yakutin, Ursov – Who, Bragin/Chanchikov

"Gazprom-Ugra": S.Kostadinov/Kirillov – Litvinov, Shevlyakov - Tkachev, Rodichev - A. Kostadinov, Moiseev

In the opening, we tweaked the setup a little and started in an unusual way, at the suggestion of Tkachev. Krsmanovic immediately withdrew, bringing the first point to the Ufa team in the new spacious hall of the Wrestling Palace, Shevlyakov responded with a zone, Slavi went online and gave up the conductor's stand to Kirillov.

Kirillov began with good tempo programs, and Tkachev’s blow to the head of Ushkov on a passing ball brought us our first break advantage, 7:5. Alexander Kostadinov served a series of serves with an ace, Shevlyakov decides in the play-offs, 13:8.

Here I would like to run ahead, but my mistakes get in the way. Alexander Kostadinov does not serve, and in the next play Kirillov failed to register the pass and the ball flew to the opponent. Pirainen then puts the ball into touch, but ours manage to fit into the net and instead of comfortable 15:10 we get 14:11 and the wild Dick Coy. The Dutch veteran scores three times and scores a “snotty” ace, through the touch of the cable, 16:16. Immediately Ursov finishes the game on his serve., 16:17. All over again.

We select Pirainen's attacks and return them through Kostadinov, 18:17. Ursov and Litvinov exchange attacks and Slavi Kostadinov comes out to serve. ace is 20:18. Alexander Kostadinov blocks Pirainen, 21:18. Slavi's second ace - 22:18! In the end Anton Malyshev, who led the game of the Ufa team due to the disqualification of Boris Kolchin, trying to change something with a double replacement, but Danila Zavolzhsky and Kirill Chekmizov no longer have time for this - the hero of the first set, Shevlyakov, throws a block in a very designated area, 25:20.

Slavi starts the second set with an ace., 2:0. But the hosts quickly catch up and take the game to their side, 5:2 after Krsmanovic's ace, the ball hit the rope and disoriented the receivers. Pirainen can't find the keys to our block, Shevlyakov continues to rage and closes Yakutin, 5:5. Nikiforov, who replaced Litvinov, begins to sway, 8:7. Coy is trying to take the initiative again from the hosts, but Pirainen doesn’t allow him to accelerate – he looks for the corner of the first zone and misses into touch.

Nikiforov blocks Ursova, Yakutin misses the court, 15:12. Nikiforov's benefit continues on a series of innings by Shevlyakov: The owners can’t organize a meal in any way, and our diagonal is also good in finishing games, and on the block. Dynamo-Ural changes half of its roster, Zavolzhsky comes on instead of Pirainen, instead of Ushkov - Chekmizov, instead of Usrov - Spodobets. And then Bragin can’t cope with Shevlyakov’s glider and gives way to Chanchikov. Meanwhile the account is already 20:12 then the Kostadinova pipe.

The reverse wave was not long in coming: Dynamo competed in defense and on the net, Koy and Zavolzhsky scored break points, Rodichev, together with the block, circled the ball and the court, And here still Yakutin zadachila in reception Kostadinova, 21:18. Rodichev changes the angle of the contour and does not “lick” the cable, 21:19, the evening ceases to be languid.

Rodichev doesn't score again, but reaches the third block and closes Koy's counterattack, 22:19. Coy is getting even, The hosts take a risk on serve – two outs, Slavi came out to serve on set point, Chanchikov brought it, but Shevlyakov and Nikiforov are building a fence in front of Spodobets, 25:21.

In the third set we immediately fly away to 1:6 with another ace from the rope, this time from the cable and Chekmizov. Bobrov replaces Kostadinov and the Nikiforov show begins. Kirill blocks Zavolzhsky and scores a break, 4:6. In the next play, Zavolzhsky throws away the passing ball and, as it turns out through video viewing, does it in enemy airspace, 5:6.

Nikiforov continues to push with speed, another game of the Ufa team on the other side – 11:9. Ushkov and Pirainen return to the site, Bobrov scores for us, and the airspace of Gazprom-Yugra was again violated due to a broken reception, 13:10. Continue with today's classics: Nikiforov scores, but Rodichev is not, Spobetz and Pirainen keep their distance. Artem Melnikov comes on instead of Yakutin and covers the sky for Tkachev with his first touch, 16:15. After the time-out, Tkachev is accurate, and Nikiforov places an ace in the receiver's joint, 18:15.

For any action of Ufa residents we have a response from Nikiforov, and when it didn’t work out for Kirill, Bobrov secured him with a blow to the block, 20:17. And then Shevlyakov “takes revenge” on Melnikov for Tkachev, tightly cover the opponent one to one, 21:17. Bobrov on a narrow pass settles in the hands of Pirainen, but is immediately corrected by Koyu’s own block - he reached third and closed, 23:19. Slavi's mistake on serve brings the final point to the hosts, Bobrov is accurate from two along the line, and on the very first match point the block alternately stops Koy and Pirainen, 25:20.

First victory, dry, in Ufa. What can you say? We uncovered those weapons, with which they defeated us in Surgut - a block game. Bobrov and especially Nikiforov painted excellent prospects for themselves. Shevlyakov gave an excellent game, five blocks, 100%(!) in attack, even distinguished himself as an ace. Slavi put in his share of aces. But it’s too early to throw caps into the air: there are some worrying moments. However, where would we be without them?. The main thing is that the most important victory from a psychological point of view has been won., which will allow us to relax a little and feel confident in our abilities. And the hosts of the match were clearly burned out from the desire to show themselves in the first home match (we are familiar with this), да еще на новой площадке, да еще в присутствии главы республики Башкортостан Радия Хабирова. Нам же, by the way, положен дополнительный респект за победу, поскольку дорога в Уфу не обошлась без приключений: вместо двух часов полета команда провела в дороге около 11.
