For Deia, Jonatas Cardoso was the most effective with 16 points (2 aces), and besides him, only Valentin Bratoev finished with a double-digit score of 10 points (1 block). The second game was the most intriguing, where the two teams 'bit into' each other and no one managed to build a large lead.

The opponent responded with three consecutive successful plays for 23:23. The first set point was by Penchev, after which Deia could have closed the set twice. This was followed by a successful attack by Faryna, a block by Krasi Georgiev, and captain Truhchev closed the game, which also determined the outcome of the match. Neftochimic played more concentrated at the end of the third game, not allowing the opponent to think about overturning the result.
Rozalin Penchev was chosen as MVP.
