Even in the second set, which was a deuce match, Korean Air was one step ahead, 25-24, thanks to Cho Jae-young's fast attack.

Korean Air won the second set as OK Financial Group's back-end attack went beyond the line without being touched by the blocker.

Korean Air solidified its victory in the middle of the third set.

At 14-12, Jeong Han-yong succeeded in attacking the rear guard.
