Hyundai Capital ‘Keeps Spring Volleyball Hopes Alive’ with 3:1 Win Over Woori Card… And a Chance to Advance to the Semifinals on their Own
Hyundai Capital kept its spring volleyball hopes alive in dramatic fashion.
Hyundai Capital came from behind to defeat Woori Card 3-1 (17-25, 25-20, 25-18, 25-17) in straight sets in the men’s Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Yugusun Gymnasium in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do on Wednesday.
Fourth-ranked Hyundai Capital, which extended its winning streak to three games, improved to 17-18 and 53 points. 카지노사이트
The gap between them and third-place OK Financial Group (20 wins, 15 losses, 57 points) was reduced to four points.
In professional volleyball, a single-elimination semifinals matchup is decided if the difference in points between third and fourth place is three or less.
Hyundai Capital will qualify for the spring volleyball stage for the second consecutive year with a win, regardless of the number of points, against OK Financial Group at Yugusun Gymnasium in Cheonan on the 15th.
On the other hand, Woori Card, who could have clinched their first-ever direct trip to the championship match with a win, failed to open the ‘champagne cork’ with an upset loss.
The league leader Woori Card (23-12, 69 points) is still ahead of second-place Korean Air (22-13, 68 points).
Woori Card can clinch first place in the regular season if Korean Air loses to KB Insurance on Thursday or if they win against Samsung Fire on Saturday.
Hyundai Capital, who will be eliminated from spring volleyball if they lose to Woori Card, got off to a difficult start as even their main hitter Jeon Kwang-in suffered from a back infection and withdrew from the match.
