In the second game, having learned from the first game the day before, the home team turned the tables, and the home team had to struggle. Although it is not easty to tell given the results: +14: the course of the game was decided in the last quarter.

Head Coach Oleg REZVY admitted:
— We figured out the opponent’s game from head to toe, and that is why we gained almost all on the first day. The boys are fantastic, they fought for each ball. The following day – and this is a particular aspect of double games — the rival made some calculations and we, at times, were not well-armed. That’s why towards the end we shook up the players, and they responded by playing as they had in the first game. Their focus returned, which brought us a victory against this important opponent.
