"Zhytichi-Polissya" immediately organized a comfortable advantage of 6 points (10:4). It was very difficult for "Reshetylivka" to bridge such a gap. Although the Poltava players had several good stretches, in particular on the serve: again it was successful for middle blocker Danylo Fedosieiev and setter Mykola Bovsunovskyi. 25:14 and the start of the meeting was for the team of Serhii Tereikovskyi.

The traditional 10-minute break turned everything upside down. Poltava volleyball players took the lead (8:4), but it was difficult for them to maintain a stable level (9:8). The residents of Zhytomyr "stepped on their toes" (14:14). And as a result, the counterattack was successful (20:16).
