Hyundai Capital, who easily won the second set with Heo Soo-bong, Oreoll, and Jeon Kwang-in, lost a set to the counterattack of KB Insurance in the third set.
Hyundai Capital followed 21-23, but Heo Soo-bong’s quick open and Song Won-geun and Heo Soo-bong blocked Villena’s attack twice in a row and succeeded in reversing.
However, Jeon Kwang-in allowed a deuce due to a serve mistake, and Oreoll’s attack was blocked, and setter Lee Hyun-seung’s overnet mistake allowed the third set.

Heo Soo-bong and Oreol scored two aces each in the fourth set, and Lee Si-woo added one.
In 24-18, Jeon Kwang-in’s quick open hit the court, and Hyundai Capital completed a three-game winning streak.
