Dinamo Moscow were absolutely better than Zenit-Kazan in a delayed match of the Round 5 of the 2020/21 Russian Volleyball Championship even though they played without Bulgarian Tsvetan Sokolov.
They beat the rivals for the first time since 2011 in a match that was scheduled for October 2020 but couldn’t take place due to the quarantine of the team from the Russian capital. Partially, it was 25:22, 25:22, 23:25, and 25:19 and this was Zenit-Kazan’s 5th defeat in the last 6 games.
Romanas Shkulyavichus top-scored the winners, who recorded the 9th victory in a row (5 of which in the competition), with 22 points, while Vadim Likhosherstov set up 5 blocks.
