The start of the match turned out to be predictable: the Podolyany immediately assumed the role of leader (7:3 – 14:9 – 17:11). The wards of Mauricio Paes realized 80% of attacks, made 3 aces and set 2 blocks. And, in the end, they naturally won the first game - 25:14.
At the beginning of the second set, a struggle began (4:4 - 6:6). "Bisons" earned break points with two aces - Danylo Uryvkin and Cameroonian Yaoussia Kavoi (8:6). Then the advantage only grew (17:12), because "Epicenter" acted almost flawlessly in all elements of the game. 25:16 and 2-0 in favor of Podolyany.
The long break did not change the game of either team. Vladyslav Didenko and Oleksandr Nalozhnyi scored aces in the opening rallies (4:1). Later on, the representatives of the Khmelnytskyi region continued to attack powerfully and work well in reception and defense. On the other hand, the Northerners lacked the experience to impose a fight against a rather famous and strong opponent (10:18). In the end, 25:15 and 3-0 for "Epicenter-Podolyany".
The most effective player of the meeting was the outside hitter of "bisons" Oleksandr Nalozhnyi (14 points).
The MVP award was given to the Cameroonian striker of Epicenter-Podolyany Yaoussia Kavogo.
