The opening set was a thriller with both sides matching each other point for point. Jesus Chourio and Muhammed Jasim struck early for the Toofans, while Dushyant Singh’s super serve briefly put the Guardians ahead. Jeffrey Menzel tried to close the set for Goa, but the Toofans’ power duo of Anu James and Chourio delivered when it mattered most to take the first set 16-14.

The Toofans carried their rhythm into the second set, with Carlos Berrios dominating from the outside. Despite Menzel’s sharp net play keeping the Guardians in touch, setter Saqlain Tariq’s pinpoint assists to Chourio and Berrios ensured a comfortable 15-11 win, putting the Toofans two sets up.
