On the serve of the outside hitter, the guests took the lead for the first time in the match (11:10), but Yaroslavl's players were unable to capitalize on this success.

The opponents came to the match with an equal number of victories, which promised a serious intrigue and a tense struggle for the fans who came to the Velocenter. The predictions began to come true in the first set. For a long time, Tulitsa was in the lead due to their confident first-tempo actions, but the end of the set was still won by Omsk – 25:22. In the second set, the teams seemed to switch roles. Omsk was trying to run away, while Tulitsa was trying to catch up. In many ways, the decisive factor was the successful substitution of the guest captain, Ekaterina Sokolchik, who turned the tide of the game with her excellent performance. Alexey Laznev's team took the lead and won the game with the same score of 25:22. Realizing that the opponent could not be taken with bare hands, Alexander Koshkin timely reorganized his team's attacking play, focusing on the experienced diagonal player Anastasia Azanova. This yielded results: she began to score consistently, and Omsk took the third set without unnecessary stress – 25:21. In the fourth set, Alexey Laznevoy brought Anna Prasolova back to the court. The substitution worked again: it was Anna who led her teammates, and her activity allowed the game to go to a tiebreaker. In the decisive set, the beginning was crucial. After taking the lead, Tulitsa skillfully maintained its advantage, preventing its opponents from gaining the upper hand – 15:10. It is worth noting that this is the first victory for the Tulitsa team in the current championship, achieved in five sets. VFV - http://www.volley.ru/

Dynamo-Metar vs. Dynamo-Ak Bars | HIGHLIGHTS | 20 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026
The first set began with effective attacks by Kamilla Rebrova, and Kazan took the lead from the very first plays. Chelyabinsk had a hard time dealing with the opponent's block and the attacks of the central blockers. By the middle of the set, the visitors were comfortably leading with a significant gap. The only moment when they managed to narrow the difference was when Elizaveta Dikih made a series of successful serves, followed by an attack that resulted in a score of 9:13. Towards the end of the set, the Kazan players intensified their play, and Yulia Stolbova made a notable contribution to the attack. At the same time, Metar's performance was not very good, and the players made many mistakes. As a result, the match ended with a score of 25:14 in favor of Kazan. The beginning of the second set was more confident for Chelyabinsk: they managed to impose a fight on the opponent, but only up to the first ten points. Then the guests' block again stopped the host team's offensive attempts. Elizaveta Karpol, who came to the front line, successfully hit all the balls that the setter entrusted to her, forcing coach Alexey Deshin to take a timeout at a score of 9:16. At the end of the set, the Metar coaching staff tried to challenge two disputed balls by taking a review, but both attempts were unsuccessful. In the end, Irina Koroleva increased her team's advantage to 13 goals, with the score being 12:25. The third set began according to the scenario of the first one: from the first plays, the Kazan volleyball players took the lead again and did not allow the opponent to get closer. Metar used two breaks before reaching ten points, but none of them helped the team to change its tactics. There were changes in the Chelyabinsk team: Olga Zvorygina replaced Olga Fornaleva as the passer, and Anastasia Arkhipova took the place of the libero. After Anastasia Stalnaya's ace, the team seemed to catch a burst of energy, but Kazan's timeout disrupted her serve, resulting in a 13-17 score. The hosts failed to impose their will on the opponent, as Stolbova scored three points in the final set, sealing the victory for Kazan at 25-15. VFV - http://www.volley.ru/

Lokomotiv vs. Zarechye-Odintsovo | HIGHLIGHTS | 20 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026
In the first set, the Kaliningrad players played confidently, outshining their opponents both in defense and in attack. The match started evenly, with Kostyuchik and Kapralova hitting the ball, while the visitors responded with attacks from Biryukova and Byarda, as well as a successful block. However, after Byarda made a mistake in attack, and Kostyuchik capitalized on a great defensive team play, Lokomotiv's advantage grew to three points. For a while, Zarechye-Odintsovo kept within three points, but then a series of missed shots, mistakes by the attackers, and a strong performance by Lokomotiv led to the host team literally running away from their opponents – 16:10, 22:13. The game ended with Kostyuchik's serves, with Kapralova's powerful strike sealing the deal – 25:13. Lokomotiv started the second set very vigorously (4:0), forcing the guests' coaching staff to take a timeout. The team from the Moscow region continued to make mistakes and deliver poor-quality service. Belikova's fast serve and Kapralova's ace led to a 11-4 lead. Konstantin Ushakov's team occasionally showcased impressive performances, such as Eva Pavlovich Mori's traditionalскидки. However, this did not hinder the Kaliningrad team from building a significant advantage, which reached 11 points by the end of the match. It seemed that the game would be won by Lokomotiv. However, the players of Zarechye-Odintsovo seemed to have broken free from their shackles, playing freely and emotionally. Biryukova's attacks became more frequent, and Brovkina scored with her first-tempo shots. On the other hand, the players from Kaliningrad started making mistakes. The team from the Moscow region produced several successful sequences, reducing the difference to four points on Biryukova's serves. However, Olga's own mistake helped Lokomotiv win the second set. The third set was almost equal. Lokomotiv initially led 6-3, but then the guests not only tied the score, but also took the lead after a strong block by Nadezhda Stolyar. The Kaliningrad coaching staff made a substitution for the setter, and Ekaterina Lazareva came in, which slightly changed Lokomotiv's playing style. Vera Kostyuchik, who scored from the fourth zone, received more offensive load. At one point, Zarechye-Odintsovo led by +3 after Pavlovich Mori's ace, but the Kaliningrad team quickly closed the gap. Kiseleva blocked Biryukova, who also made a mistake in attack. By the end of the match, the score was 19:18 in favor of Lokomotiv, and Ekaterina Lyubushkina's ace came in handy. Zarechenki managed to tie the score at 21:21, but it was only temporary. Lokomotiv played a block, and Vera Kostyuchik scored after the Kaliningrad team's defensive play. The visitors then made a mistake in their attack, and the hosts ended the set and the match with another block. VFV - http://www.volley.ru/

Uralochka-NTMK vs. Dynamo | HIGHLIGHTS | 20 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026
The first set was played under the dictation of the hosts. Branka Tita successfully overcame the Moscow block, regaining ground, while Elizaveta Protopopova demonstrated powerful attacks. Moscow Dynamo responded with precise attacks, with Anastasia Chernova standing out for her clever decisions. However, the Ural players maintained a slight advantage at 13:12. In the middle of the set, the Ural volleyball players increased their lead thanks to Protopopova's effective attacks and Oksana Shvydkaya's blocking skills. The speed took its toll: Olga Khlebnikova's signature quick passes to Titsa and Elizaveta Fitisova's precise blocking helped the hosts strengthen their position, resulting in a 21-15 score. Moscow Dynamo failed to reverse the momentum in the first set, and Uralochka-NTMK secured victory with a 25-18 score. In the second set, a fierce battle unfolded. Uralochka-NTMK demonstrated a stable and composed game, but the Muscovites, adding emotion and tactical acumen, managed to seize the initiative. The appearance of Natalia Goncharova on the court was particularly significant, as her experience and skill in offense significantly enhanced Dynamo's offensive potential. The visitors took the lead with a score of 14:12. However, the Ural players showed their determination and soon tied the score at 15:15. Arkady Kozlov's team found their winning combination in the form of Popova and Lazareva, who successfully attacked time after time. Uralochka-NTMK had their own trump card in the form of Protopopova's "cross." The tension in the hall grew with each play, approaching the climax of the set. The equal struggle reached its peak and turned into a game of balance, where the Ural players displayed an iron will to win and managed to secure victory in this game, with a score of 26:24. At the start of the third set, the teams delighted the fans with long and spectacular plays. Protopopova was the leader of Uralochka-NTMK, and her actions on the court were flawless. At the beginning of the game, Uralochka took the lead with a score of 8:5. However, the hosts' minor mistakes and the Moscow team's sharp attacks allowed them to tie the score at 8:8. The substitutions made by the Moscow coaching staff did not yield the desired result. Mikhail Karpol's volleyball players managed to take a couple of points, which determined the outcome of the match – 17:14. In the end, the Muscovites made a series of mistakes, which the Ural players took advantage of. Titsa played brilliantly in the attack, quickly outmaneuvering the Dynamo block.

Fakel-Yamal vs. Dynamo-Ural | HIGHLIGHTS | 22 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026
The hosts started a little nervously, and a couple of their own mistakes left the Yamal team in a catch-up position. On Sidorenko's serves, which resulted in an ace, the subarctic team tied the score, and the two teams continued to exchange shots until the end of the set, which ended 20-20. However, the Ufa team achieved their goal, with two straight-away serves from Enin that decided the outcome of the first set. What the guests were doing well in the first set didn't work out in the second. Their serves were not flying, and their attacks were not going well. However, the Yamal players played more disciplined, and by the middle of the game, they were ahead, with a score of 16:10. The Ufa players tried to get back into the game: they blocked Pipunirov and Romano, and Skvortsov, who replaced Spodobets on the court, was accurate on two occasions, reducing Fakel's advantage to just one point - 17:16. However, the hosts did not allow the opponent to gain any more points. Ma'a hit a straight-away shot, and Romano and Kapranov were reliable in the attack, resulting in a 25:21 victory for Fakel. The third set was controlled by the Novourengoy team: the Yamal team scored points in series, with Pipunirov making three aces in the set, and Kapranov finishing long rallies in his favor. Boris Kolchin made several substitutions, with Potalyuk, Chekmizov, and Ursov joining the team, but they were unable to turn the tide of the game, and the set ended in a victory for the Yamal team, 25-17. After slightly loosening their grip at the start of the fourth set, the hosts were immediately confronted by the pressure of the guests. Enin's attacks were successful, and the Ufa players' serves were also effective, leading to Dynamo-Ural taking the lead at 12:9. As Boris Kolchin's team continued to dominate with their serves, they reached the end of the set with an advantage of 20:15. However, Pirainen's block on Mozzhukhin marked the end of the set at 25:19, and a tiebreak was now in order. The shortened set began in a tense struggle, but when Krot caught Pirainen with a block, Fakel Yamal was ahead at 8:7 by the change of sides. A couple of unforced errors by the Ufa team solidified the Yamal team's lead at 12:10, and Skvortsov's mistake on serve brought Fakel an important victory in this intense match.

Zenit-Kazan vs. Belogorie | HIGHLIGHTS | 22 Round | SuperLeague 2025-2026
Since 2023, matches between the two most decorated clubs in the country have been held under the banner of "Classics of Russian Volleyball." The teams traditionally took to the court in special uniforms, and this time, there was a lot of classical music in the foyer and the arena itself. In the Lions' debut, the unstoppable diagonal player Mohamed Al Hachdadi was on the court, but as soon as he made his first mistake, the Kazan team immediately took the lead. Mikhail Labinsky scored after Dmitry Volkov's tenacious defense, and Alexey Kononov made an ace – 13:10. The guests turned the tide of the game with a series of four blocks. Pavel Tetyukhin was particularly successful, as he single-handedly shut down Maxim Mikhailov twice – 16:15. The Kazan team had excellent reception (89%), but the Belgorod team still managed to read their opponent's moves. However, the decisive factor was the Zenit block, which shut down Al Hachdadi in the final minutes – 25:23. The second set started badly for both Belogorye and Tetyukhin, the captain of the team: first, he attacked into the out, and then he did not share the ball in the reception with Yaroslav Podlesnykh – 1:4. In the middle of the game, the coach of the "lions" Sergey Baranov spent two time-outs on a series of Volkov's serves, on which his team was stuck (9:14). The Belgorodians themselves had problems with the serve: not a single ace in two sets and 13 (6+7) mistakes. When they managed to make good serves, the Kazan players received them well, which gave them an advantage in the attack. Volkov was the leader of Zenit's attacks. He also ended the set with an ace, 25:17. Mikhailov was once again blocked by Tetyukhin (8:8), and Konstantin Abaev made several inaccurate passes, leading to a double substitution by Zenit's head coach and birthday boy, Alexey Verbov, who brought on Mikhail Vyshnikov and Drazen Luburić at 10:12. However, this substitution did not have the desired effect, and at 14:17, a reverse substitution occurred, with Luburić also falling victim to Tetyukhin's block. While Zenit lost five points in the attack, Belgorod only lost one. They minimized their mistakes, which immediately affected the result. Tetyukhin (4/6) played a brilliant set, and Georgy Zabolotnikov was very effective, securing the guests' victory with a score of 25:21. In the fourth set, Ljuburić came on with Abaev. Kononov and Roman Romanovsky's blocks gave Kazan a lead (8:5), which lasted until the middle of the set. Romanovsky's and Ljuburić's mistakes in the attack allowed Belogorye to recover, leading to a 15:15 score. At 14:15, Belogorye had to make a forced substitution due to Podlesnykh's ankle injury, and Andrey Marchenko came in his place. Zenita's coaches also made a substitution in response to Romanovsky's mistake, replacing him with Artem Volvich. In the end, Ivan Yakovlev hit two consecutive aces against Labinsky, and Belogory took the lead with 21:19. This could have been the decisive moment in the set, but the Kazan team fought back after Volkov's attack. Labinsky's powerful serve gave them a set point, leading to a 24:23 score. Ultimately, Kononov's block against Al Hachdadi's attack sealed the victory for Zenit, resulting in a 26:24 score. VFV - http://www.volley.ru/
