Hyundai Capital, who dramatically secured the spring volleyball ticket with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the 6th round of the regular league, produced a spectacular game with all their might, but was just one point short of securing a ticket to Jangchung.

OK Financial Group took the victory in the closely contested third set, 21-20, thanks to Hyundai Capital’s Ahmed Ikhbairi (registered name: Ahmed)’s offensive mistake, and quickly accumulated set points with Song Hee-chae’s clever touch-out score and Leo’s refreshing back attack.
Left-handed striker Shin Ho-jin and outside heater Song Hee-chae supported Leo, who was struggling, and gave OK Financial Group a breather in scoring.
However, in the 4th set, when they were trailing 22-23, Leo’s back attack completely missed the court, and OK Financial Group was dragged to the 5th set.
Hyundai Capital seemed to be on the cusp of victory thanks to Jeon Kwang-in’s 3 consecutive blocker touch-out scores, but when Leo scored 4 consecutive back attack scores to bring the game back to square one, the 5th set turned into a seesaw game again.
In the end, at 13-13, Hyundai Capital’s Jeon Kwang-in’s serve error became the watershed for victory.

Song Hee-chae contributed 15 points and Shin Ho-jin contributed 12 points.
In Hyundai Capital, the trio of Ahmed (29 points), Heo Soo-bong (23 points), and Jeon Gwang-in (18 points) struggled, but were caught up in 33 mistakes, 12 more than OK Financial Group.
