Loko Novosibirsk is second in the standings after a difficult victory over Yenisei

Loko Novosibirsk managed to defeat, albeit with difficulty, Yenisey in their away match in Krasnoyarsk with a score of 2:3 (16:25, 20:25, 25:23, 27:25, 9:15). This occurred in the 27th round of the Russian Pari Superleague. The hosts managed to recover from a two-set deficit, and Plamen Konstantinov's boys had the opportunity to fight for all three points after managing to overcome a large deficit in the fourth set, bringing the score to 24:24. With a final surge, Yenisey pushed the match to a tie-break, which the guests started brilliantly, taking a 0:4 lead. Serve and block were the main weapons of the "railroaders," who took a crushing 4:13 lead. Lysik gave the first match point to the visitors, followed by three unanswered points for the hosts. At 9:14, Konstantinov requested a video check, which distracted the serving player, who hit the serve into the net, giving Lokomotiv two points. Before this match, the team from Novosibirsk was fourth in the standings. With their 20th victory, Lokomotiv once again climbed to second position after the undisputed leader Zenit Kazan, who has only one defeat so far and a game in hand (they play against Fakel Yamal today). Tsvetan Sokolov's Dynamo Moscow is third after decisively defeating their city rival MGTU yesterday.
