Where is thin, that's where it breaks
Maxim Kirillov started the match badly, failed the pace game. His unforced technical error recorded 4:8 on the board, after which Artem Ivanov came out to pass. Immediately Fedorov reduces the distance with two blocks on Tetyukhin (6:8). The game went in waves, but the hosts undermined the Surgut team’s decent defense and aggression on the net with their serve. At first, Melnikov set complex tasks with a hybrid glider (8:13), then the ace was issued by Al-Khachdadi, and Zhang - two (10:18). Difference -7 saved until the end of the set.
