The match was watched by almost 3’000 fans at “DIVS” sports hall in Ekaterinburg and the first three sets were all extremely close with both teams finding it difficult to assert their supremacy. Set 3 was actually the turning point of the match especially as the score stood at 1:1 by then. There Vakifbank showed great actions in defense and superb blocks to make the task more difficult for the home side and also helped by some mistakes committed by Uralochka, the Turks could seal the final 26-24 and provisional 2:1.
