The 13th consecutive loss is the most consecutive losing streak since the foundation of the GS Caltex team. This is the highest since December 11, 2005 to January 25, 2006. A third round match against Heungkuk Life Insurance is scheduled on the 28th, and if it loses again on the same day, it will set a new record for the most consecutive losses by the club.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, on the other hand, has won three consecutive games. Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which added three points, remained in second place with 13 wins, 4 losses, and 40 points, but tied with No. 1 Heungkuk Life Insurance on points and started a fierce chase. This season's showdown with GS Caltex won all three games.

From GS Caltex's point of view, it was regrettable that the first set was left. Despite showing tremendous concentration from 32-32, he lost the set due to a lack of the last one.

GS Caltex took the lead with Silva's serve ace and attack success in the early stages. However, as the receiving faltered, he allowed his opponent to turn the tables. On this day, Hyundai Engineering & Construction showed strength in serve, while GS Caltex showed weakness in serving and solved the game with difficulty.

GS Caltex, which rearranged its receiving, followed Silva's fierce attack and Seo Chae-won and Yoo Se-yeon's decisive block. Silva then succeeded in turning the tables as he succeeded in attacking for four consecutive times.

However, Hyundai Engineering & Construction caught up quickly as Moma, which had been quiet, revived, and GS Caltex played a close game of deuce. Continuing to reach the set score but allowing a tie again. GS Caltex, which lacked a decisive shot, lost Ko Ye-rim's serve so vainly after failing to defend its mother at 32-32, giving up the first set.

The weak GS Caltex struggled in the second set. In every critical situation, he was held back by a mistake. With Silva 'All-Bread Attack' continuing, Oh Se-yeon's serve ace and Kim Joo-hyang scored to tie the score at 15-15, but they later self-destructed again. In the end, they easily lost two sets by seven points.

In the third set, they worked hard again. The attack success rate was similar to that of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, but it fell behind in detail. While maintaining a narrow lead, Moma's blockade failed, and Silva's attack was rather blocked by opposing middle blockers, allowing a 16-16 tie. On this day, coach Lee Young-taek expressed his frustration by making two fierce appeals against the referee's decision. In Jung Ji-yoon's scoring recognition situation, which was tied 16-16, the game was briefly suspended as he was warned in protest of the hit decision. However, it was not reversed as the vice-president insisted that he could not accept the protest due to the slow timing of the buzzer, explaining that he decided to regard Pocht as a mid-rally.
