It seemed that the volleyball players of VSC "Bukovyna", determined to fight, would demonstrate fierce resistance to the Zhytymyr team "Zhytychi-Polissia" (2:0 - 3:1). But Zhytomyr quickly equalized thanks to Mykyta Luban's attacks (he scored 7 out of 8 attacks) and a high-class block (6 blocks in the first set). Serhii Tereykovskyi's team increased the lead (14:10 – 20:13) and easily won the opening set - 25:16.
But in the second set, Volodymyr Orlov's wards were more focused and skillful (9:7 - 14:12). Eduard Shteryk performed good service, but on the other side of the court it was difficult to stop the irrepressible Viktor Shapoval and Alen Didovic (15:15). In addition to this were two consecutive errors from Chernivtsi in the attack, and the leadership passed to "Zhytychi" (19:17). Then there was an ace by Didovic (20:17) and, in the end, a victory in the second set in a row - 25:21.
After the "ten-minute break" "Zhytychi" took the lead again (6:3 - 14:8). And it looked like they would quickly seal the victory in this set and match. However, the players of Chernivtsi got a second wind, and with joint efforts, they almost overtook the opponent (14:15). But then again there was a series of mistakes, lack of experience, and self-doubt. 25:19 and 3-0 in favor of the Zhytomyr club.
The most productive player was Mykyta Luban, an attacker from Zhytomyr (16 points).
Mykola Rudnytskyi, the constant captain of "Zhytichi-Polyssia", received the MVP award.
