A 10-minute break did not change the situation on the PVLU arena court: the Zhytomyr team continued to feel quite comfortable and controlled the course of the match (8:6 - 20:15). "Reshetylivka" from time to time tried to "show its teeth" and give a fight, but its own mistakes and experienced opponent's attackers stood in the way - 25:17 and 3-0 in favor of "Zhytychi-Polissia".
