"Security Police-ZUNU-Dynamo" - VC "MHP-Vinnytsia-ShVSM" - 1:3 (22:25, 17:25, 25:17, 16:25)
The second meeting on Wednesday took place between the Ternopil "Security Police-ZUNU-Dynamo" team and representatives of the Trostyanets - VC "MHP-Vinnytsia-ShVSM".
Konstantyn Riabukha decided to give a chance to show themselves to players who usually have less playing time on the court. Only Yaroslav Pampushko, the team's only libero, remained from the main line-up. The team from Vinnytsia took the lead (5:7) on the serve of Oleksandr Lukianets. The team from Ternopil periodically equalized the score, especially well served by captain Yurii Palasiuk (15:13). Then "MHP" took the lead again thanks to the opponent's mistakes and Lukyanets' aces (18:15). The team from Vinnytsia were able to maintain a +3 advantage and "took" the first set - 25:22.
The second set started with a score of 4:0 in favor of Vinnytsia volleyball players. They firmly blocked Maksym Turik. Ternopil was not succeeding in reception or in defense. Instead, Kostiantyn Riabukha's players were, as always, emotionally ready. 25:17 and 2:0 in favor of "MHP".
The 10-minute break had a good effect on Ternopil: they rested and with renewed strength began to impose a fight (10:7). Kostiantyn Riabukha resorted to substitutions: instead of Ivashchenko and Yakushenko, Stebletskyi and Uryvkin appeared on the court (12:16). But the situation on the court did not change: Yurii Palasiuk and Andrii Horbenko, together with a setter Ivan Biliuk, confidently led their team to victory in this set - 25:17.
In the fourth set, the balance was maintained (6:6). But then the players from Vinnytsia won three consecutive rallies and accordingly took the lead (9:6). This advantage increased, because the attackers of "MHP" sought to end this match as soon as possible. As a result, 25:16 and 3:1 in favor of the Vinnytsia club.
