Russia: Dinamo Moscow defeat Zenit St. Petersburg in recovery of Round 15

In recovery match of 2021/22 Superliga Parimatch Round 15, Dinamo Moscow celebrated a clear four sets victory (25:15, 25:20, 24:26, 25:14) against a St. Petersburg who entered the field only at the end of third set, when they made a great comeback from 19-14, despite the absences of Poletaev and Urnaut, on the bench, as well as setter Kobzar and coach Sammelvuo (covid suspicions? or other reasons?).
Either way, supremacy in serving (11 aces and 22 errors against only 2 aces and 16 errors) and in attack (54% and 36% efficiency vs. 37% and 11% efficiency) for the hosts.
Yaroslav Podlesnykh was Dinamo’s best scorer in the match with 20 pointsc and Zenit suffered 3rd consecutive defeat in Superliga.
