With 32 errors, more than Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's 19, it was on the verge of defeat, but it showed the power of first place in the 4th and 5th sets.

In the first set, he showed off the overwhelming aspect of Hyundai Capital's No. 1 ranking. The power of Hyundai Capital's Leo-Heo Soo-bong-Shinfeng's triangle formation was great, and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance did not work well except for attacks that relied on Fazli and Grosdanov.

With Hyundai Capital's height, only five blocks came out in the first set, raising the burden of Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance's offense.

Hyundai Capital, which had widened the gap little by little, quickly finished 25-18 by blocking Grosdanov's attack on Leo's direct kill following the opponent's serve mistake at 22-18.

The second set was different. Hyundai Capital's receiving was shaken by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's strong serve, and the attack also revived as Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance responded well to the monotonous Hyundai Capital attack. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance also neutralized Hyundai Capital's attack by blocking. Kim Joon-woo made two and Kim Jung-ho and Grosdanov made one block each, raising the mood. Fazli scored 7 points, Grosdanov scored 4, and Kim Jung-ho added 4 points, Kim Joon-woo added 3 points, and Yang Soo-hyun added 2 points, making the attack smooth due to the diversification of the attack. Contrary to the first set, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance continued to lead, and Kim Jun-woo blocked Leo's attack and ended 25-18. Hyundai Capital was disappointed that Leo only scored one point with a 16.7% attack success rate.

Set point at 23-22 as Fazli's attack hits Hwang Seung-bin's arm. At 23-24, Leo made a ridiculous mistake of making a sub-lineover mistake, and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance took three sets 25-23 and was on the verge of catching a big fish.

However, in the fourth set, Hyundai Capital gained strength again. This time again, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance tried to finish the game by taking the lead. However, the atmosphere changed when Jung Tae-joon's fastball, opponent's mistake, and Huh Soo-bong's back attack tied the score at 9-12. Jung Tae-joon then blocked Paisley's attack and then blocked Kim Jung-ho's attack, leading 14-12 to take a lead. 19-14 lead by Jeon Kwang-in and Heo Su-bong. Hyundai Capital, riding the flow, continued to score and finished 25-21 with Jeon Kwang-in's spike to open the door to the last five sets.

Hyundai Capital, which came from behind to win in the fourth set, continued its good flow in the fifth set. Following Heo Soo-bong's spike at 1-1, Leo blocked Fazli's attack to set the early tone, leading 3-1 and then leading 8-4 with Leo's back attack and Choi Min-ho's fastball and blocking to secure the door to victory.

The gap widened more and more, and Jung Tae-joon's attack finished the game 15-9.

For Hyundai Capital, Heo Soo-bong scored 23 points, Leo scored 21, Jung Tae-joon scored 14, and Choi Min-ho scored 13. All the main players, including 10 points by Shin Feng, scored double-digit points, and Jeon Kwang-in, who came out as a substitute member, also scored six points to win the game from behind with the players' even performance.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance played the role of an ace with Pazley scoring 26 points.
