# 

In the men's professional volleyball section, Hyundai Capital won its first game since the All-Star break. It continued its spring volleyball challenge by winning two points against second-ranked Korean Air, which was trying to regain the top spot.

Hyundai Capital beat Korean Air in the fifth round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on Thursday with a set score of 3-2 (25-21 25-18 21-25 26-28 15-12). It was the first victory in three years at Gyeyang Gymnasium, escaping eight consecutive losses against Korean Air.

Starting with the accurate toss by the tall setter Kim Myung-kwan, the attack triangle formation that has been on fire recently was followed by an onslaught of Ahmed Iqbairi (registered name: Ahmed, 200 cm), Heo Soo-bong, and Jeon Kwang-in (194 cm). This will mark Hyundai Capital's 10 wins and 15 losses (34 points) overall for the season. Although it remains in sixth place, it is only three points away from fifth-ranked Korea Electric Power Corp.

Korean Air, on the other hand, missed a golden opportunity to move up to first place in the league. Although they lost the first two sets, they showed their hindsight to take the game to the full set, but they ended up losing and staying in second place with 14 wins and 11 losses (44 points) for the season.

The first set belonged to Hyundai Capital. The score was 25-21. The result was determined by the number of blocks.

Hyundai Capital recorded six blocks in the first set, while Korean Air recorded only one. The attack triangle formation was responsible for most of the points. In addition to Ahmed's 10 points, Heo Soo-bong (4 points) and Jeon Kwang-in (2 points) also added their attack power. The team's success rate was 63 percent. Ham Hyung-jin (186 cm) and Lee Jun-hyeop (186 cm) also shook the Korean Air defense with surprise serves.

On the other hand, Korean Air's attack didn't stop from the beginning. Murad's attack was repeatedly blocked, and he had to walk to the bench just four minutes into the game. Lim Dong-hyuk (201 cm), who was brought in instead, led the team's attack. He was responsible for the most points in his team with seven points. However, Korean Air was pushed back in height, and its attack success rate was as low as 38 percent.

Hyundai Capital's attack continued in the second set as well. It was up to Hyundai Capital in two consecutive sets, 25 to 18. In particular, Kim Myung-kwan, a 195-cm setter, showed all the advantages that a tall setter can show on the court. Accurate toss continued toward the triangle formation, and Ahmed, Heo Soo-bong, and Jeon Kwang-in answered the favor by scoring a total of 13 points. On top of that, Cha Young-seok and Choi Min-ho added five blocks, which also boosted the team's mood.

Veteran setters of Korean Air performed slow tosses. In the second set, starting with Yoo Kwang-woo (184 centimeters), a player stepped on the court again when his team was trailing, but he did not have good teamwork with the strikers. Murad was also deployed again in the second set, but he failed to score a single point and had to go straight to the bench.
