Fakel won tiebreak in the hall of Russian Superleague leader. Second Novosibirsk and third Belgorod are now one point closer to the Kazan.

 

 

The victory of Fakel in Kazan is somehow symbolic, because Novyi Urengoi is official sister city of Vancouver, where the Olympics take place right now. Zenit lost after the seven consecutive wins at home. Russian champion had a very bad game in Olympiakos and the dream of victory in Champions League can melt down after the home game against the Greek team.

Novosibirsk extended the winning series to four matches. Also Belgorod is on its winning road with 6 wins with Greek setter Kurnetas Belgorod did not lose. Fakel moved away from Iskra. Iskra has 3 defeats in the last 4 matches.

Dynamo Moscow is getting better, Tyumen was not a tough opponent. In the Russian championship Dynamo is not on the place as it is used, but Champions league is going well for the Moscow. Dynamo need to win single set in Panathinaikos to qualify for the Playoffs 6 of Champions League. Tyumen has the longest series of defeats in the Superleague – 8 matches.
