1-0 as a walk
But let's take things from the beginning and the first batch.

Pressing serve, closing blocks with points or breaks and counterattacks, they took an early lead that they held until the end, taking the set 25-18.

However, the visitors more than responded and reduced the score to a point. However, at 17-16, the hosts again managed to build a new streak and this time they kept it up and qualified for the final with 25-19 and 3-0 wins.
