Lokomotiv Novosibirsk's volleyball team suffered a 0:3 (19:25, 22:25, 22:25) defeat to Belogorie in a Super League match. The encounter took place in the packed Lokomotiv Arena, where the visitors dominated from the start.

In the first set, Belogorie took a 6:4 lead after an ace by Zhang and an effective block. Despite the hosts' efforts, reception problems and a lack of aces (0 for the entire match) led to a 19:25 loss of the set.

In the second set, Lokomotiv managed to take a 9:6 lead after successful blocks against Al Hachdadi. However, Belogorie quickly caught up and reversed the score, winning the set 25:22.

The third set started with a 10:6 lead for the visitors, which they managed to maintain until the end, closing the match with 25:22.

The top scorer in the match was Pavel Tetyukhin from Belogorie with 16 points, while for Lokomotiv, Ilya Kazachenkov scored 14 points.

Plamen Konstantinov, head coach of Lokomotiv:

– A categorical failure in reception, even without maximum risk from Belogorie. Our reception was catastrophic even on a medium serve. From there, we failed in attack, and without it, you can't win. The visitors played their game, and we just couldn't cope. Perhaps at the end of the third set – as soon as we got close, we made another reception error and the match ended.

Despite the defeat, Lokomotiv maintains second place in the standings, winning 19 out of 24 matches.
