Korean Air lost the match against OK Financial Group, taking a step further from winning the regular season.

Korean Air lost the 2023-24 Dodram V-League away match held at Sangnoksu Gymnasium in Ansan on the 10th with a set score of 2-3 21-25, 25-20, 20-25, 25-22, 12-15.

Korean Air well blocked the attack success rate of OK Financial Group’s main striker Leo Leonardo Leyva Martinez at 43.40 percent, but donated seven sub-Aces.

Korean Air was able to regain the lead when it won, but failed to achieve that goal by only adding one point. Korean Air had 68 points, maintaining its second place behind Woori Card 69 points, which had taken the top spot the previous day. Woori Card played one game less than Korean Air.

Coach Tommy Tilikainen said after the game, “The opponent’s defense was really good,” adding, “We put in the Joker Espekho, Jeonghan-yong in the fourth set and scored one point, but that was not enough.”

For Korean Air, Jung Ji-seok scored 22 points and Kim Min-jae scored 14 points, but Murad Khan scored 15 points and an attack success rate of 35.48%.

Apogit spiker Lim Dong-hyuk did not play in the game, and coach Tillikainen said, “I couldn’t put him in because of a minor injury.”

Korean Air will play its final match against KB Insurance on the 14th. Before that, if Woori Card wins 3-0 or 3-1 against Hyundai Capital on the 12th, Korean Air will be confirmed in second place regardless of the final match on the 14th. Following the 0-3 loss to Woori Card on the 6th, the second consecutive loss is painful.

Coach Tillikainen said, “Before the final match, nothing has changed. I will do my best in the same way.” 안전놀이터
