Lokomotiv vs. Zenit-Kazan | Highlights | SemiFinals (4th Game) | SuperLeague 2025-2026

Good afternoon, dear fans. We are pleased to welcome you back to Lokomotiv Arena. The Novosibirsk Stadium once again warmly opens its doors to all fans, to all volleyball enthusiasts. And we have another match in the series between Lokomotiv and Kazan Zenit. Kurbanov's shot, Nikolov Voronkov's attempt via Vabaev, but the ball bounces off the goalpost. Krivichenko, the guests will be eased. Lobinsky simply throws the ball to the opponent's half. Kurkaev shoots again. And it's great to see Volkov again. But here, all the chances were already with Lokomotiv, without the opponent launching any attacks. Here we see that "Zenit" let us down. Tied the shoelace, but it didn't turn out very well. Let's take a look at what's happening now. All is well for now. Nicholov to Kurbanov. Oh, Rajab is throwing it. Krivichenko again in solid defense. Nikolov is now in Rajab. And past it. I don't think we should go for the viewing. It's really not worth taking. But right now we'll see who's serving. Good one. The serving was decent, by the way. I think he slightly oversimplified the presentation of the connecting part. And he didn't hit with full force. But that is no longer essential. Because he was luckier and more accurate on the net. Yes, the first tempo. Bayev And he accepts it well, Kurbanov. Nikolov at Lysika. And this combination works. Short pass. Once again, the result turns out to be. As soon as there's a quick pass to the center to Lyzika. Attention on delivery. Good job, Dmitry is doing well. But Lobinsky is managing the reception. Abayev doesn't just pass the ball to the heavy half. Without attack. And Kurkaev according to the scheme. The Nikolov-Lyzik connection is now working. Nikolov-Kurkayev The locomotive had to score here. Because Konstantin Abaev barely managed to run there. And what about the diagonal? The player was more on Rajab. Lately. Nevertheless, the diagonal is usually better than a sniper. In attack. Here he is. Or it is oriented toward Kurbanov. Here, you see, they didn't include Voronkov. And, so to speak, Kurkaev on the serves. I haven't taken it for a long time. Abaev and Volkov The discount did not go through. The bald man wanted to cheat. Yes, it worked. Brazhnyuk, Vishnyakov, and Tsenderu are celebrating this discount. A good move by Kurbanov. It feels like Rajab has blown it. Konstantin Abaev retrieved this ball. But he managed to hit it so skillfully that the ball still landed within the court on the locomotive's side. Yes, I also thought Abaev shouldn't have touched that ball. Nikolov was being cunning right now. He already showed with his entire body that he was about to jump on the ball. So what? Was that a deliberate trick? Plamyan is thoughtful. There's something to think about. Oh, things aren't all right here either. There's a lot of Sumbura. Game in the opponent's space. The referee shows the locomotive's number. New Siberians are lucky right now. Frankly speaking, the prank was not at all in their favor. There's a trick. Mikhailov dragged Amar by the shield. Nicholov to Voronkov. And he tried to pierce above the rib. The discount is not working. Nicholov! Nikolov decided to improve the attack himself. Instead of the routine where the partners here jump. I did everything nicely. According to the numbers on the poster, 54 in Novosibirsk Oblast, 16 is Dmitry Lysov. Maybe his mother? Maybe. Here is Abaev. Good pass to Mikhailov. And he seals the game. 25–21, the Novosibirsk players don't argue. Krivicenko's serve. Kazachenko returned to the locomotive crew. Right away, someone effectively helps Lyzik. And skillfully passed it into the open zone. Here he is, Ilya Kazachenko. Ilya opens the score in the second set. Yes, well, this replacement was expected. Even, I must admit, we were expecting it sooner than it actually happened. Such a slogan, foolishly speaking, symbolizes it. Mikhailov is out. Oh, Turkaev's here. Kazachenko knocks down the player again in the first zone. And it's Abay again. A good short attack from the diagonal locomotive. Krivichenko takes again. Insurance is available. Again blocked. Now again and again. Flamin is calm, not even moving. Kurbanov is serving. Along the side line, awesome. Mikhailov with softness. Krivichenko, Nikolaev on Kurbanov with a long pass. Looks like we're at the Volvichs' place for a backup. But here, of course, it was hard to resist such a thing. They are also difficult to remove, that's true. Lobinsky Once again, the locomotive is easing up. Far from the net. Another attack will be launched against the Novosibirsk residents. Ski, awkward shift. Mikhailov Right into the knee area, somewhere. Thus, the press conference was supposed to be held by Nikolaev. But the skier had to score, of course, in the previous moment. The aim is off. Voronkov is accepting. Nikolaev on Kurkayev And wow! Ultimately, after Korkaev's strike, the ball is passed to Libera. Nikolaev made reception difficult. Does not accept, nevertheless. Romanovski But he hasn't been seen in an attack for a long time. This is a good reception. And the cut falls perfectly. Yes, a simple setup. Lobinsky Yes, and I saw exactly that the front part of the knee was open. He vanished there. Well, but Voronkov works even better in reception. And once again, Fyodor. They really played Romanovski. Romanovsky to Voronkov, Voronkov to Romanovsky. And Voronkov is back. Fedor's been attacking for ages now. He was not visible either. We somehow slightly lost that connection. Novosibirsk residents are confident in their abilities. He really knocked Bolkov down hard. Flame with its unexpected interruption. Twenty-five, twenty-two. Exactly right. It does not revert it back to Abaev. Oh, Kurbanov, now that's a ride. So, there was an attack in the rear line. Yes, absolutely correct. But it's Amar's signature pie. The head coach is suggesting something to Voronkov. Three demand it from him. It's three-all in the score. No, the captain is not taking a risk. Mukhaylov really hammered it in, really hammered it in. And he saw everything perfectly. I saw this expanding funnel. Part of the platform. Ilyas decided not to take any risks. There were problems with the supply. Voronkov Nikolov to Luzik. This combination works. Another short pass. Hung directly above the net. He's already without any chance of competition here. Alright, Ilya Khazachenko is serving. When Danani touches the rope, the ball rises. Abayev to Volkov. And Kazan's "Zenit" earns a point. It seemed that it would no longer be very convenient for Volkov here. But no. But this locomotive rental feature here. The starry sky lit up with the glimmers of mobile phones. It's perfectly timely today. Cosmonautics Day Yes, but we can see that the timeout worked out well. What is called. 13 points for the locomotive. Amar Kurbanov A good attack. Volkov Good climb. Saves Novosibirsk residents. Khazachenko passes the ball. Azhiganov is in mid-jump here. Or was it Kurkaev after all? This is Block. Yes, yes, yes, Block. Who exactly? Kurkaev or Azhiganov? They soared above the net together. But here, Agigano saved his entire team heroically. Calmly serves. The ball is out of reach. The first tempo belongs to the Canadians. Great. The ball is passed between the fifth and sixth zones. This is not Voronkov. But Semen also won his team the setball. It no longer takes risks now. He handed it over more carefully now. And Lobinsky rose at once. Voronkov did not survive. Let's play higher-lower. Remains on the platform. The struggle is still ahead in this game, including. Kozeyrov's reception. Volkov Amar Guests are arriving. Fedorov is good. Volkov And the set point is already with Kozirev. Well, I think we've got it figured out, Where do you need to go? every time into the zone. Every time in practice Something will come up. Received. Mykolaiv Voronkov didn't score. Answer by Kozantsev. The discount is not working. Kozantsev and Mikhailov save them. Mykolaiv What will the locomotive respond with. Vorkov was already lifting his foot. It didn't work right away. I kicked it up, but Did not lift. Strike. Well, here Gurbanov serves well. Voronkov with a lizik. Lyzik is scoring points again. Now already from the block. Yes, but here on the block. The performance on the block was great. Voronkov Also with contact with the cable. Everyone is already taking risks. Prozhyunok. Prozhnyuk by individual blocks Did his job. Complex. Yes, here. I found a variant. Bypassing the blockade. Nine. Not yet appeared. Maybe he'll find out what happens next. Meanwhile, Nikolayev's service is quite high-quality. Here comes Voronkov. But here, no attack. Locomotive gives the visitors one more chance. Lobinsky The platform. Lobinsky And the block was pierced straight through. Possibly Kryvichenko Again, a good reception. Voronkov earns point for your team. Fedor is just the right time for it now. one or two points Put it in the locomotive's piggy bank. Vorontsov's delivery Oh, how nice. Mikhailov was transferred This ball. Lobanul Kryvychenko. It was hard to do anything. This time it's Kryvychenko. Handles the intake well. And Kurbanov. The discount is ongoing. Edge-wise. Last ones He ultimately managed to grab it with his fingertips. Dobayev has this ball. It was just not enough after all. The team was not saved. Now let's see what's going on with Goldwich now. Here is the first scored point. The fourth number. Here you are, captain. One team's captain has left. Thirty fingers from the platform. We don't see Kurbakova. Julii Brazhnev is playing in his place. Markin is still around. Good question. Let's not talk about it for now. Kononov here. Good attack. Delivery from one's own dances This time it's great. Dobayev at Lobinskogo. And Lobinsky saw, The sixth zone is open. Right there. On the edge of the sixth-fifth zone. Kurkaev and Markin Mikhailov. There's a call from Krivichenko. Nikola Brazhnev's first tempo. Yunuk Yury. Fourth number. Voronkov serves. A good move by Volkov. Goldwich. Brazhnyk didn't notice that the ball was with him. It lands right behind me. There was a chance for backup. At Lokomotiv, but of course, with their back turned A bit heavy. Risks. First tempo. Brazhnyuk. How spot-on he was about replacing Brazyunk. Yes, that's great. There's even a prize like that there. the best reserve player. 24-22 setball. Wow! That's awesome, Lysik! Plays wonderfully on the net. Well then, let's go. Let's go. Nice serving by Lyzik. And a good finish to the attack from number 13. First tempo. But again, a good move Kurbanov. Good reception. Zachenko Fuse block from Krivichenko. Again, Ilya. Fedorov reached the finish line. The dead ball there Libera pulled out. How does Libero play against visitors? That's quite a prank and Voronkov. Lokomotiv gets back on its feet across the arena. 1-1. Yes, that's correct. Brazhnyuk performs in his own style. Mikhailov Voronkov And Voronkov himself Compares the score. 5-5 and how it got started Locomotive to the arena. Here you can't help but start to do so yourself to start (an engine) Good presentation. Mikhailov Softening. Abayev and Lobinsky Court ball Right at the edge of the fourth zone. Subnet. Maksim Mikhailov Oh, it was so difficult, but Kurbanov managed it. upon receiving Kazachenko. The Zenit players lift the ball. Lobinsky again, and once more heading roughly in the same direction. Again, the same old thing. Plus two again in favor guests. Third time. Played absolutely perfectly. There it is. Upon landing? Or not? This is Lobinsky. Lobinsky, I think, with his elbow. In the black sleeve, right? No, it's Volvich. Somewhere down there, in the lower cages. Just below the lowest cable. They're showing it to us once again. Ah, yes! Volvich was clearly visible just now. In the end, he himself planted the subplot. In the lowest cells, yes. Or is it the wind? Hey, maybe it's already windy, huh? Satisfied? The guests are arguing. That's understandable too. Again very strongly made intake difficult. Lobinsky. Nikolayev's been caught. Yes. Libera. Kазachenkov. Hand in hand. Alright, Ilya. I floated in very emotionally. I remember him from the regular season. He was very stern. He no longer allows room for error. Because it leads in the series. Well, I didn't take any risks. Fedor played so cleverly here. You're on, not in. I saw that there is insurance under the net for the guests. Ace. No. Ace, judging by the emotions, by the audience's reactions. Ace. Everyone's arguing. The judge says the ball Locomotive. No. Oh, not again It's off to the races. Warnings are going around again Maybe someone could grab it. Yes. Now the locomotive's point. Alters the arbitrator's decision. What is this thing along the body? An unexpected solution. And Volnich was already so emotional Currently communicating with Alexander Pavlov Just on the received tones. Yes. The scoreboard still reads 11-9. Libera ran over hint to the chief referee in the first section. This is for the second one arbitu. And there, near the first one this confrontation Here is Volnich speaking. You gave it to them touching the net, which did not happen. It was he who was talking about that incident when he A net touch was called. Now he is certain that there was Touching the net by the player from Lokomotiv. Did I understand correctly? Yes. Now it was there. Rerun of the point. Yes, that's correct. That's exactly it. And I had to play at the reception. Vorkov is out! The draw continues. The ball rolled under Vorkov's feet. Short, powerful, fast transmission. What does the captain of the guests look like? How fast Voronkov ran! Reach the tiebreak. A good passing ball. They love these kinds of points, Dmitry, just these kinds of points bet in matches. Save the railway series. We have a fifth game coming up in Kazan. 3-2 in sets. Bravo, locomotive!
