Egged on by a huge, vociferous crowd supporting both teams in tandem, Al Tadawi I — made up of players from top Russian outfit, Dynamo Moscow — left nothing to chance as they played a totally controlled game to outdo Al Hilal in three straight sets.

Al Hilal did seem to get the bearings in during the opening set as they matched Al Tawadi | point for point. But the closest they came was when they were tied at 23-23, only to see the unstoppable boys from Russia take it away 25-23.

Al Hilal tried to fight back in the next set, only to see outside hitter Anton Semyshev come up with a match-defining performance of two serves, three blocks and the honour of being the top scorer on the night with I7 points as Al Tadawil powered away to win the next two sets, 25-20 and 25-91.

This was a worthy finale to the I2th edition of the Nad Al Sheba Sports Tournament, the largest sporting event of its kind.
