Plamen Konstantinov's "Lokomotiv" (Novosibirsk) recorded an important 0:3 (22:25, 24:26, 18:25) away victory against "Zenit" (Saint Petersburg) in
the fourth round of the Russian Super League. Zenit play under the leadership of Vladimir Alekno. Lokomotiv started the first game with a deficit, but by the end of the set, Plamen Konstantinov's team quickly equalized and was the first to reach set point. In the second game, the victory was decided at its very end, where the Novosibirsk team also played more confidently. In the third set, the hosts could not oppose the strongly playing "railwaymen" team, inspired by the hard-won second set. As a result, Plamen Konstantinov's team's first away victory against a formidable opponent like the Saint Petersburg team became a fact. This is also the first defeat for the team of the former "sbornaya" coach Alekno.
Marko Ivovic finished with the most points - 14, 13 points were added by opposite Rajab, followed by middle blockers Ilyas Kurkaev - 9 and 8 from Dmitriy Lyzik.

After the match, Plamen Konstantinov dedicated the victory to opposite Ruslan Rajab, whose son was born the day before.
Lokomotiv occupies sixth place in the Super League group stage table for the 2024/2025 season with nine points. The club has played only three matches, not four, like most teams.
