Woori Card won the set score 3-2 (22-25, 19-25, 25-23, 31-29, 15-13) in the men's first round of the Dodram V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 8th.
With this victory, Woori Card has recently won two consecutive games and added two points. The season's performance is three wins, two losses, and nine points. On the other hand, Korean Air, whose winning streak has been cut, only added one point. Korean Air will have 3 wins, 3 losses and 11 points.
The initial atmosphere was taken by Korean Air. Korean Air is currently missing its main catcher Yosvani due to injury, Jung Ji-seok is improving his condition, and it is difficult for Han to play full-time. Amid the large and small injuries of the main players, Woori Card took the lead at the beginning of the first set through quick attack chances and serve, but it did not last long. Korean Air changed the team's atmosphere with Jung Ji-seok scoring two consecutive serve points. He lost by raising his offensive score as well as his strong serve, and quickly tied the score 13-13.

However, from the second half of the third set, Woori Card's organizational power was revived, centering on Ahi. Woori Card started to chase little by little by reducing mistakes and taking advantage of fastball chances. In a situation where he was losing heavily as he survived the blocking, he even tied the score at 19-19, and turned the tables. Korean Air began to falter. As the well-entered serve collapsed and Woori Card's attack success rate rose, it succeeded in turning the tables at the end of the third set.
