Korean Air won its first game since the All-Star Brave.
Korean Air won the set score 3-0 (25-23, 25-22, 25-23) in the fourth round match against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance in the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Daejeon Chungmu Gymnasium on the 8th. The second-ranked Korean Air broke its two-game losing streak with 12 wins and 7 losses and 39 points in the season, and began chasing the leading Hyundai Capital (49 points). Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, ranked fifth, lost two consecutive games and remained at 6-13 and 23 points in the season.
Korean Air reorganized its foreign players' skills during the All-Star break. He broke up with his replacement Maxim Zigalov when he confirmed his companion to Josbani Hernandez, who was out due to injury. Maxim immediately transferred to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance and succeeded in re-employment, but he was unable to play on the court on that day due to visa issuance. Korean Air also strengthened its defense by sending out foreign player Aref Moradi in the Asian quarter and bringing in Japanese Ryohayiga.
Korean Air coach Tommy Tilikainen added `two new players. Ryohei is a short time, but he feels that he has already adjusted a lot. I hope to have an advantage in today's game (8th). Josbani has been with the team for a long time and has trained normally. I want you to create new energy for the team. In the first half, there were some unlucky injuries. I want the players to be healthier in the second half of the year"We expected a rebound in the second half of the year.
Kim Sang-woo, head coach of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, said "There was a work to replace foreign players, and I thought it was definitely necessary to change the atmosphere. The height was relatively low and the Reevis efficiency was not high. I spent a lot of time focusing on defense and receiving"He hoped to play in spring volleyball with a rebound in the second half."

Joopo Yosvani, who returned, was responsible for 26 points, the most in both teams. Jung Ji-seok scored 14 points and Lee Joon added 10 points.
From the beginning, Korean Air overwhelmed Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance. In the first set, Yosvani and Jung Ji-seok both scored eight points side by side, leading the game. In a tight flow from 20-19, Josbani scored twice in a row with attack and block, allowing him to win the first set thanks to a distance of 22-19.

At 17-17, Jung Ji-seok was able to run 21-17 thanks to breaking down Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's receiving line with a strong serve. It was even more difficult for Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance to cut off the flow of Korean Air as Ali Fasley and Kim Jung-ho committed offensive mistakes in the aftermath of unstable receptions.
In the third set, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's counterattack was not easy. Was dragged to 10-15 as he couldn't break Fazley's sub-time at 10-12. Then, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance began to self-destruct due to Son Hyun-jong's attack mistake, Son Hyun-jong's serve mistake, and Kim Woo-jin's open attack mistake. While narrowing to 18-20, Lee Joon's time difference attack followed by one-point server Seo Hyun-il's second consecutive serve ace, which was able to be overturned 21-20. Korean Air did not miss this trend and pushed Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance to end the game with a shutdown.
