Tulitsa vs. Proton | HIGHLIGHTS | 25 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026

The first set was played by the players of Proton. Of course, starting the home match with a score of 0:5 was clearly not in Alexey Laznevoy's plans, but he was unable to change the situation. The Tula team had serious problems in attack, but when they managed to break through the block, the libero of the Saratov team did incredible things in defense and prevented the hosts from reducing the score. The score of the first set, 25:13, in favor of Yuri Marichev's team, speaks volumes.

For Tulitsa, the first set was like a cold shower. And the conclusions were drawn very quickly. In the second and third sets, the hosts added a lot to their serve, which pushed Proton away from the net and created big problems for the opponent in attack. But the main thing is that the hosts themselves began to act more coolly in attack. And here we should mention Ksenia Lebedkina and Alexandra Mamedova. While there was some intrigue in the second set, the advantage of the Tula players was very convincing in the third set.

The pattern of this game was that whoever took the lead in a set would win the game. This was the case this time as well. Proton played a better start to the fourth set, with players like Seliverstova and Sergeev dominating the court and driving the ball into the net. The host team's coach made several changes, but they did not yield the desired result, as the visitors won the game 25-18.

As they say, the 5th set is a lottery? Perhaps. Neither team was going to give up. The teams took turns leading and letting each other get ahead. With the score at 7:7, after a good serve from Ekaterina Sokolchik, Yulia Sinitskaya scored a passing ball, allowing her team to switch sides as the leader. Immediately after that, the captain hit an ace, increasing her team's advantage to 2 points.

But the guests responded immediately. Kotikova first scored a powerful goal from the 4th zone, and then Varvara Sergeeva closed down Alexandra Mamedova's attack. The game ended in a close match, with the guests emerging victorious with a score of 16-14 in favor of Proton.

However, it is worth noting that the Tula team's one point allows them to achieve their first goal this season, which is to qualify for the final eight.
