The Surgut team almost repeated the scenario of the last match with Fakel, but this time we managed to take the victory in a tiebreaker. In the first set, and in the match as a whole, the decisive factor was the presentation. The visitors tried to create aggression when putting the ball into play, but were wrong seven times. The hosts made four mistakes, but at the same time they made three aces and hit a bunch of freeballs. The first “race” from Rodichev – freeball, an error in the transmission on a knocked out reception and a clean ace, 11:8. Second from Slavi – freeball, knocked out technique with an error on the second touch, more freeball, but Nikiforov ended up under Piskarev’s block in the final game, 15:11. Kuzbass made a double substitution, on his birthday, Tyumen’s diagonal Pavel Yurinsky made his debut as a pitcher in the Super League, and in the end Slavi hit a clean ace plus a freeball (23:16), his brother got a reception on his side on a set point and Nikiforov finished, 25:16.
