From the beginning of the match, the Barkom volleyball players imposed their high tempo. Lorenzo Pope, supported by Wasyl Tupczij, performed excellently.

The Bełchatów team, considered the favorites, had to face the difficult task of stopping the rushing Lviv team.

In the third set, Barkom players gained the advantage from the beginning. Pope worked brilliantly on the net, while Amin Esmaeilnezhad responded on the other side. However, it was not enough to stop the rushing Lviv players. The last ball belonged to Fasteland and the hosts were already assured of at least one point.

The fourth set of the competition was the most intense, with both teams fighting to stay in the game. Skra wanted to stay in the match, while Barkom was still collecting points to stay in the league. Both teams were evenly matched, and the very end was full of emotions. Perić explained everything in the very end, showing off a spectacular block on the Lviv attacker.

The tie-break was already a clear advantage for the Bełchatów team, who, irritated by the previous sets, clearly got down to work. On the other side, there was a sense of impotence at the net. The Barkom players stopped even on a single block by their opponents. In the very end, Pope was caught by just such a surprise. Tupczij was still harassing his opponents from the service field at the very end, but it was not enough. Skra ended the entire match with an effective attack from the second line.
