Russian Cup: all results of November 26 – 13 points for Setter Pankov!

After the two games played yesterday, another 6 matches of the semifinal rounds of the Russian Cup were played today.

In Pool A, Dinamo Moscow (with Sokolov at rest) made its debut with a clear 3-0 over ASK Nizhniy Novgorod. For the Dinamo’s setter, Pavel Pankov, 13 points (with 8 aces)!
On the same Pool, victory also for Ural Ufa against Yugra Samotlor Nizhnevartovsk.

In Pool B, Lokomotiv Novosibirsk (who wasted a 10-5 lead in the third set) struggled more than expected to win against young Fakel, but with 3-1 they mortgaged the qualification to F4.
Also Belogorie Belgorod, who defeated Yenisey Krasnoyarsk 3-1 leaving Al Hachdadi and Petric at rest, continues to fight for the first place (at least mathematically, but in reality with very few chances).

No upsets In POOL C: victories as expected for Kuzbass Kemerovo over Neftyanik Orenburg, and Zenit Kazan over Dinamo LO.
