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.
