2nd round. The fifth game. November 4
SC "Balta" — SC "Prometey" 0-3 (8:25, 17:25, 23:25)
SC "Prometey" wins an important victory in the championship of Ukraine over "Balta". After all, firstly, they continued the triumphant streak and broke away from the nearest pursuers in the standings. Secondly, our volleyball players will go to France in a good mood for the Champions League match against Volero Le Cannet.
The game started with the spurt by the "red and white" team (0:3). They completely knocked out their opponents from the reception. Therefore, the latter could not organize an effective attack for a long time to win the rally (1:9). In addition, the Balta team had many of their own unforced errors.
We would like to note the appearance of Marta Drpa in the starting six, who was quite active in those minutes and was marked by a long series of serves. In particular, the Serbian's aces forced Romanovych to take a second break in a short period of time. However, these time-outs did not affect the general picture of the game. "Prometey" continued to combine and finished the set quite quickly - 8:25.
It was nice to watch the struggle at the beginning of the second set (3:3). At the same time, it was felt that the current champions could "explode" at any moment because their potential is widely known. The trigger for this was Yevheniia Khober's well-aimed shots. Soon, Bojana Milenkovic also scored successful shots, increasing her team's lead (9:15). The ending was again without intrigue — 17:25.
In the third period, Ivan Petkov's wards continued to dictate their terms on the court to their opponents. At the equator, they momentarily lost the rhythm of the match and gave the Balta team a chance for a comeback (15:15, 22:23). But this did not happen, because "Prometey" pressed the opposites masterfully - 23:25.
