Dynamo-Metar vs. Dynamo-Ak Bars | HIGHLIGHTS | 20 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026

The first set began with effective attacks by Kamilla Rebrova, and Kazan took the lead from the very first plays. Chelyabinsk had a hard time dealing with the opponent's block and the attacks of the central blockers. By the middle of the set, the visitors were comfortably leading with a significant gap. The only moment when they managed to narrow the difference was when Elizaveta Dikih made a series of successful serves, followed by an attack that resulted in a score of 9:13. Towards the end of the set, the Kazan players intensified their play, and Yulia Stolbova made a notable contribution to the attack. At the same time, Metar's performance was not very good, and the players made many mistakes. As a result, the match ended with a score of 25:14 in favor of Kazan. The beginning of the second set was more confident for Chelyabinsk: they managed to impose a fight on the opponent, but only up to the first ten points. Then the guests' block again stopped the host team's offensive attempts. Elizaveta Karpol, who came to the front line, successfully hit all the balls that the setter entrusted to her, forcing coach Alexey Deshin to take a timeout at a score of 9:16. At the end of the set, the Metar coaching staff tried to challenge two disputed balls by taking a review, but both attempts were unsuccessful. In the end, Irina Koroleva increased her team's advantage to 13 goals, with the score being 12:25. The third set began according to the scenario of the first one: from the first plays, the Kazan volleyball players took the lead again and did not allow the opponent to get closer. Metar used two breaks before reaching ten points, but none of them helped the team to change its tactics. There were changes in the Chelyabinsk team: Olga Zvorygina replaced Olga Fornaleva as the passer, and Anastasia Arkhipova took the place of the libero. After Anastasia Stalnaya's ace, the team seemed to catch a burst of energy, but Kazan's timeout disrupted her serve, resulting in a 13-17 score. The hosts failed to impose their will on the opponent, as Stolbova scored three points in the final set, sealing the victory for Kazan at 25-15. VFV - http://www.volley.ru/
