The economy was fast from the beginning. In the first inning, both teams finished the attack with three outs, and in the top of the second inning, SSG had Guillermo Herredia's hit and Lee Ji-young's opponent's error on base, but it failed to lead to strikeouts and double plays. In the top of the third inning, SSG failed to connect another chance due to Oh Tae-gon's double play after leadoff hitter Kim Sung-hyun's hit.
Kiwoom was also unable to get on base against Elias until the third inning. Finally, the opportunity came in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, when it was 0-0, Kiwoom's leadoff hitter Lee Ju-hyung took the first base with a bunt hit in front of the third baseman. It was a bunt hit on the first pitch that opened up the team's frustrating attack.

SSG also missed a chance in the top of the fifth. After two outs, Park Sung-han got on base due to an error in the opponent's second baseman's catch, and Kim Sung-hyun walked out, but Oh Tae-gon struck out.

With Song Sung-moon's walk on base, one out and runners on first and third bases. Kim Gun-hee stepped down with a strikeout, but Bae Sang-kwon's hit became a timely hit that fell in front of center field, followed by third baseman Song Sung-moon, who came home from third base. As SSG's ball connection was not smooth, all the runners homered. Kiwoom, who added two runs in the sixth inning, went on a 3-0 run.

SSG Elias pitched well with three runs in seven innings, but Furado was responsible for eight scoreless innings, bringing the atmosphere.
Kiwoom entered its last defense. The top of the ninth inning with a three-point gap. Closer Joo Seung-woo took the mound. Joo Seung-woo returned the first batter, Choi Jung, with a swing and miss strikeout, and allowed a walk to Herredia, but ended the game by catching a double play in Choo Shin-soo's at-bat as a pinch hitter.
With this victory, Furado succeeded in hunting for 10 wins (five losses) of the season. Kiwoom remains at the bottom, but it has become the only team at this point with '10 wins, one-two punch' following Heysus (11 wins).
