Dinamo Kazan - Dinamo Moscow (full match)

Dinamo Kazan had already claimed the first round last week in Moscow (3:1) and needed to take another two sets from the return match to book their ticket to the Playoffs 6. Dinamo Moscow started out very bad making many errors in reception. Their best spikers Tatiana Kosheleva and Nataliya Obmochaeva were regularly stopped by the block of Dinamo Kazan while Ekaterina Gamova and Antonella Del Core displayed an excellent performance for the home side. After leading the way 10:5 and 16:8, Dinamo Kazan easily cashed the opening set 25:15. In the second set Dinamo Moscow was able to keep the score tight chiefly via the attacks killed by Maryna Marchenko (18:18). However, a block by Jordan Larson-Burbach and an ace by the only 18-year old Anna Melnikova propelled a 20:18 lead for Dinamo Kazan with Gamova taking her side by the hand on the way to the 25:22 that said the final word about the race for a spot in the Playoffs 6 after only two sets. "Today we played our best match this season so far", commented Dinamo Kazan coach - Rishat Gilyazutdinov.
