After a full set of bloodshed, the victory and defeat were divided by a distance.

GS Caltex won 3-2 in the fourth round of the "Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League Women's Regular League" against Pepper Savings Bank at 7 p.m. on the 6th at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul.

GS Caltex, which lost in an away match in Gwangju on the 30th of last month, succeeded in avenging its return match in a week. GS Caltex, which has won two consecutive games, is ranked fourth with 30 points (10 wins and 10 losses). Pepper Savings Bank also tied the season with 2 wins and 2 losses. On the other hand, Pepper Savings Bank remained in sixth place with 21 points (7 wins and 13 losses).

"Double Po" Gisele Silva and Tokoku Reina combined for 52 points with 31 and 21 points, respectively. Pepper Savings Bank struggled hard with Joey in charge of 36 points, but bowed to defeat.

After the game, coach Lee Young-taek breathed a sigh of relief as he entered the press conference. He usually does not spare sharp analysis and bitter criticism, but the day was different. Coach Lee Young-taek said, "The game process was difficult, but I am grateful to the players who overcame it as a result," adding, "I will not make any tactical comments or hateful comments today. "I just want to praise you for your hard work and good work," he said.

Coach Lee Young-taek chose the "praise mode" because of the burden that the players carried. "The players must have shrunk a lot psychologically due to the defeat in the last showdown, but I appreciate that they held out until the end without collapsing in a crisis," he said.

He added, "I will focus on preparing for the next game with this momentum."

On the other hand, director Jang Ji-yeon's face was full of regret. "I went to the fifth set and played a good game, but I'm so sorry that I didn't finish it," he said.

It was painful for Pepper Savings Bank to fail to prevent the last Silva's rear attack in a row. Coach Jang Ji-yeon said, "Both teams are the same (situation). The fifth set is a mercenary fight, but there was a difference in options," he said.

Joey scored the most points on both teams, but his performance in the match was disappointing. However, head coach Jang Ji-yeon said, "It is consequential, but there was something I wanted to do like this in one or two situations. "I'm sorry about this part," he said, showing no concern.
