The Ivano-Frankivsk team, which had previously lost all five opening matches, started strongly against the favorite and led the score for most of the first quarter. However, the guests subsequently seized the initiative and went into the first break with a +3 advantage.
From the middle of the second segment, the Kiev team began to increase their advantage. At the beginning of the last quarter, Dmitry Zabirchenko’s team was leading +13, but then Prykarpattya-Hoverla made a powerful breakthrough and even managed to take the lead – 74:73. Still, the favorite avoided a fiasco and left the ending behind.
