Fakel-Yamal vs. Dynamo-Ural | HIGHLIGHTS | 22 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026

The hosts started a little nervously, and a couple of their own mistakes left the Yamal team in a catch-up position. On Sidorenko's serves, which resulted in an ace, the subarctic team tied the score, and the two teams continued to exchange shots until the end of the set, which ended 20-20. However, the Ufa team achieved their goal, with two straight-away serves from Enin that decided the outcome of the first set. What the guests were doing well in the first set didn't work out in the second. Their serves were not flying, and their attacks were not going well. However, the Yamal players played more disciplined, and by the middle of the game, they were ahead, with a score of 16:10. The Ufa players tried to get back into the game: they blocked Pipunirov and Romano, and Skvortsov, who replaced Spodobets on the court, was accurate on two occasions, reducing Fakel's advantage to just one point - 17:16. However, the hosts did not allow the opponent to gain any more points. Ma'a hit a straight-away shot, and Romano and Kapranov were reliable in the attack, resulting in a 25:21 victory for Fakel. The third set was controlled by the Novourengoy team: the Yamal team scored points in series, with Pipunirov making three aces in the set, and Kapranov finishing long rallies in his favor. Boris Kolchin made several substitutions, with Potalyuk, Chekmizov, and Ursov joining the team, but they were unable to turn the tide of the game, and the set ended in a victory for the Yamal team, 25-17. After slightly loosening their grip at the start of the fourth set, the hosts were immediately confronted by the pressure of the guests. Enin's attacks were successful, and the Ufa players' serves were also effective, leading to Dynamo-Ural taking the lead at 12:9. As Boris Kolchin's team continued to dominate with their serves, they reached the end of the set with an advantage of 20:15. However, Pirainen's block on Mozzhukhin marked the end of the set at 25:19, and a tiebreak was now in order. The shortened set began in a tense struggle, but when Krot caught Pirainen with a block, Fakel Yamal was ahead at 8:7 by the change of sides. A couple of unforced errors by the Ufa team solidified the Yamal team's lead at 12:10, and Skvortsov's mistake on serve brought Fakel an important victory in this intense match.
