After the first two sets there was a 1-1, but the third set belonged firmly to the players of Dinamo. Uralochka had the chance to reach tie-break, but was not successful and the match ended with the result 3-1. Nataliya Obmochaeva was the best scorer of the game – 27 points. The second was Natasa Osmokrovic, she added 23 to the team’s achievements.
We won because we were able to connect our serve with block and defense. Besides, we had the last game at home and Yekaterinburg played at Cannes – said coach of Moscow.
Despite the 26 points scored by Natalya Mammadova (most in this match) her team failed to beat Tyumen. After two losses sets Omsk was close to achieve a tie of the match, however, in the fourth set, when they led 20:17, the most important points were gained by the rivals and they could enjoy the victory 3-1.
“The game was interesting. I think the fans enjoyed it but it cost us a lot of nerves. First two sets were held perfectly. The block was perfect, everything worked. Third part, however, we had problems and it’s not the first time this happens in this season. Effectiveness in reception failed, we made mistakes in attack. We need to think about what is causing this. The fourth set was also difficult but we managed to win. I am happy and I thank players for the game” said coach of Tyumen.
