The decisive set also began with Kampa’s point service (0: 2). The Poles made up for the losses (5: 5), but later the visitors had an insignificant advantage (6: 8). After a great job completed by Eric Rohrs, they jumped by 3 points (9:12). After the time had passed and the coach had been reprimanded, the hosts broke into the fight (12:13). Tobias Crick won the ball of the match with an attack from the middle, after which Rohrs cut into the double block and ended the competition (13:15).
In the first matches of the season, the coach of the Polish national team, Nikola Grbić, could not use the services of all players.

Michał Gierżot, who will not be in the squad for the first VNL 2023 tournament, could not play due to injury. Mikołaj Sawicki, Dawid Dulski and Kuba Hawryluk made their debuts in the Polish national team.
