Hyundai Capital, which won 16 consecutive games and lost one, added one more win. Hyundai Capital won the set-score 3-1 (25-21, 25-19, 26-28, 25-18) in the fifth round home game against Korea Electric Power Corp. in the Dodram 2024 ￣ 2025 V-League at Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium in Cheonan on the 8th.
Leo scored the most 29 points on both teams in the fourth set alone. Six serve aces alone. Heo Soo-bong scored 12 points, Shin Feng scored 12 points, and Jeong Tae-joon scored 11 points, playing a fun game with home fans.
Hyundai Capital, which has 24 wins and 3 losses by adding one win again, has started to show the possibility of confirming the top spot in the regular league in the fifth round, with a 19-point lead over second-place Korean Air (17 wins, 9 losses, 51 points).
Korea Electric Power Corp. is in a situation where foreign player Matheus is out due to injury, but Korean veteran outside heater Seo Jae-deok has a bad back and middle blocker Shin Young-seok also has a bad knee, which is expected to lead to a difficult game.
Lim Sung-jin scored 18 points, Kim Dong-young scored 14, Jeon Jin-sun scored 9 points, and Kim Joo-young scored 8 points to win a set, but it did not prevent five consecutive losses. KEPCO finished sixth with 9 wins and 18 losses and 25 points.
If he had beaten KB Insurance three days ago (5th), he would have challenged to tie the record for the most consecutive wins in history. Hyundai Capital, which tried to win 17 consecutive games and suffered a shock loss of 0-3 to stop its winning streak, quickly prepared for a fresh start.
It's definitely a different move from three days ago. I'm back to my winning streak.

KEPCO chased Kim Dong-young (6 points) and Lim Sung-jin (5 points), but Hyundai Capital finished the first set by blocking Park Seung-soo's spike following Leo's RBI high spike at 23-21.
The second set is also Hyundai Capital's pace. Hyundai Capital, which started with a 4-0 lead with two serve aces by Heo Soo-bong, Lim Sung-jin's mistake and Shin Feng's back attack, played leisurely while avoiding the blocking wall of KEPCO by utilizing various strikers such as Leo, Heo Soo-bong, Shin Feng, and Jung Tae-joon. Korea Electric Power Corp. is not good enough to narrow the gap even in the struggle between Lim Sung-jin and Kim Dong-young. Hyundai Capital, which reached the set point due to Lim Sung-jin's offense error at 23-19, finished 25-19 with Shin Feng blocking Park Seung-soo's attack.
In the third set, KEPCO's spirit shone. At 6-6, Park Seung-soo's spike succeeded in Huh Soo-bong's offensive error, leading KEPCO 8-6. Hyundai Capital immediately turned it over 11-9, but KEPCO led 12-11 again with Kim Joo-young's second consecutive serve ace, and Leo's offensive mistake on the forward line took a 16-13 lead by three points. Korea Electric Power Corp. seemed to win three sets as it continued to Kim Dong-young and Lim Sung-jin's spike and Kim Dong-young's serve ace, leading 19-14.
However, Hyundai Capital, which changed the atmosphere with Jung Tae-joon's quick attack, followed Jeon Kwang-in's spike and blocked it to 17-20, three-point difference. Hyundai Capital, which followed Heo Soo-bong's spike and Choi Min-ho's blocking to 21-22, gave up points to Yoon Ha-joon and was pushed back to 21-23 again, but Leo's success in consecutive attacks succeeded in tying the game 23-23. Heo Soo-bong's serve is off the line, 23-24.
However, Leo's attack succeeded again and succeeded in a 24-24 deuce. However, KEPCO's momentum continued to the end. Following Kim Dong-young's serve ace at 26-26, Leo's net touch error came out, and KEPCO won the third set 28-26.

However, Hyundai Capital, which regained the lead again 16-14 due to Leo's fourth consecutive attack, did not lose the lead again this time like in the third set. Leo completely turned the atmosphere back to Hyundai Capital, with consecutive serve aces, and the game was decided as it spread to 20-15.
In the end, it finished 25-18.
KEPCO also faced Hyundai Capital with strong serve and blocking on the day, but it was not enough. Korea Electric Power Corp. recorded nine sub-aces and nine blocks, while Hyundai Capital drew 19 blocks and 11 sub-aces. Jung Tae-joon recorded five blocks, and Shin Feng and Choi Min-ho each recorded four blocks.
Until the fifth round, KEPCO won 3-2 in the first round alone, but Hyundai Capital won all four times after the second round.
