After the first technical timeout of the first set, powerful attacks from Ezequiel Palacios allowed La Unión to make the five point gap (13-8) and they maintained the difference on the scoreboard until the end of the first set 25-21.

Gigantes started the second set better. They seemed to have found the right path by adjusting the attack and defense which allowed them to reach the first and second technical time in front (8-5 and 16-13), but the La Unión, supported by the public kept the second set in their hands – 25-23.

La Unión had a great start of the third set to reach the maximum point difference of 5-1. Still, their superiority could not be maintained, Gigantes rose up to 6-5. From then on, it was point to point. With 23-21 for locals and fans were encouraged to celebrate the win, but Gigantes got a great reaction and by blocking they came at 28-26 which allowed them to play a fourth set.
