The first set was for the players of Vinnytsia: Kyrylo Peredrii's team was emotionally ready and "courageously" played the opening part of the game (14:11). And even at the moment when the Reshetilivka players equalized the score (19:19 – 21:21), Vinnytsia volleyball players focused on following the coach's instructions. Two productive blocks and a dink became the result of the won set - 25:22.
In the second set, MHP also took the lead (14:11 - 16:12). However, Nik Sotnyk and his teammates showed fighting character and not only equalized the score (21:21), but won a seemingly hopeless set - 25:23.
Next, "MHP" again dictated the tempo of the game (4:0), and then the struggle started again (18:18). And again the ending was tense and interesting. The representatives of the Poltava region played well on the block (only 4 per set), which helped them record another set to their assets - 25:22.
But then their "passion" and energy disappeared, and Vinnytsia used their powerful serve (11:8 - 17:10). The opposite Mykhailo Yakushenko made a significant contribution to this - 25:16. And the fifth decisive set awaited.
The first rallies of the tie-break went to Vinnytsia (4:1). And again the aforementioned Yakushenko served an ace (6:2), bringing his team even closer to victory. He was helped in every way by his teammates on the block and in the attack (9:3). As a result, 15:10 and 3-2 for "MHP-Ladyzhyn-ShVSM-Kolos".
The opposite of "MHP" Mykhailo Yakushenko (30 points) was the most productive player of the meeting. He received the MVP award.
