In the rematch, the French team took full revenge but have fallen in the Golden Set: 3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 25-20); GS: 12-15.
Lokomotiv went to the eighth-finals of the CEV Cup despite committing as many as 34 unforced errors, 13 more than rivals. Pavel Kruglov and Aleksey Rodichev scored 10 points apiece for Lokomotiv, while Bulgarian martin Atanasov tallied 19 points for Chaumont.
