The reigning national champion Zenit Kazan beat Shakhtar Soligorsk at home in the Super League championship match.
This is the second meeting of the teams this season. In the first round of the championship, Kazan volleyball players could hardly beat the newcomer of the Super League in Belarus. In that match, Zenit fielded a semi-reserve squad and almost missed the victory. In the end, Kazan still won, but only with a result of 3:1.
Alexey Verbov's coaching staff drew certain conclusions from that match and made some changes. In particular, the main Zenit squad came to the court in the match in Kazan. In addition, the Kazan team chose a "brave" blue-purple uniform for the game.
The start of the current game also turned out to be equal. The rivals exchanged points for a long time. Kazan began to break away closer to the middle of the game. From 13:13, Zenit players turned the score into 17:13, successfully performing on Volvich's serve. However, the ending of the set did not come out easy for the champions. The hosts won only from the second set point - 26:24.
The second game began with two effective Christenson serves - 2:0. The American's case was supported by the partners, having successfully played on the block three times - 5:1. At 7:2, the guest coach took a timeout, but neither the first nor the second break helped the soligorchans. Zenit held the advantage very confidently - 25:14. It is noteworthy that the decisive point was scored by the same Christenson, who sent another ace.
The third set was similar to the first. The same equal 13:13 and the same enchanting gap from Kazan - 17:13. The only difference is that this time Zenit did not let the opponent in at the end of the game. Shakhtar could not win back the gap, and the point in the match was set by Deru - 25:20.
Zenit-Kazan - Shahter (Soligorsk) - 3:0 (26:24, 25:14, 25:20).
