It was a single-wood bridge match that could have overturned the ranking, but it ended very blandly, contrary to expectations. Gimcheon Korea Expressway Corporation's Letizia Moma Vasoko (registered name Moma) has changed the results of the game.

Korea Expressway Corporation beat Suwon Hyundai Engineering & Construction by a set score of 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-20) in the women's home game of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium on the 7th.

In a situation where they could have given up the lead to Hyundai Engineering & Construction if they lost, Korea Expressway Corporation added three points with overwhelming performance, widening the gap with second-place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (13-8, 38 points).

Korea Expressway Corporation was slightly ahead in blocking (6-4), but the number of serve aces was the same with three, and the number of mistakes was 13, rather more than Hyundai Engineering & Construction (10).

Moma made the biggest difference in the game. While in charge of 47.06% of the team's attacks, he scored the most 33 points by both teams, recording 55.36% of the attack success rate and 50% of efficiency. Kang So-hwi (11 points) and Tanata Suk-so (registered name Tanacha, 8 points) overwhelmed Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

In Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Kari Geisberger (registered name Kari) was the only one who scored double-digit points, but collapsed after being helpless by Moma. Although Kari, Yang Hyo-jin, and Jung Ji-yoon were all in poor physical condition, there was a very big difference.

Yang Hyo-jin, who scored eight points, added one block on the day to set a career record of 1,700 blocks for the first time in history, but he couldn't laugh as much as he could due to the team's defeat.

Moma scored 13 points in the first set alone, setting an individual's record for most points in a set this season. Even with a 19-18 lead, he scored a quick open goal and gave his team a first set victory with a series of back attacks in 22-19.

He made a back attack in the middle of the second set, which was slightly ahead 16-15, and also played a key role in widening the gap by hitting open attacks in succession in 19-17.

In the third set, Lee Ji-yoon and Kang So-hwi scored one after another against Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which was relentlessly chasing 21-20, and ended the game with Moma's back attack.

In the men's game held at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon, Uijeongbu KB Insurance came from behind to beat Daejeon Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance with a set score of 3-1 (23-25, 25-17, 25-21, 26-24).

Acting coach Ha Hyun-yong, who took over the baton after Leonardo Carvalho stepped down, secured his first valuable victory in his third game.

KB Insurance, which recorded 11 wins and 10 losses (34 points), jumped to third place, beating Suwon KEPCO (33 points).

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance also responded by acting as a supervisor. Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, led by acting coach Ko Joon-yong, won its second straight game by catching even the leader Incheon Korean Air in the previous game, but was still at the bottom with 4 wins and 16 losses (12 points).

KB Insurance's Andres Villena (registered name Villena) scored 29 points, Na Kyung-bok 17 points, Park Sang-ha 11 points, and Cha Young-seok and Lim Sung-jin also scored 9 points each, showing an even distribution of attacks. Park Sang-ha and Cha Young-seok broke Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance's salary by catching five blocks each.

Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance scored 21 points by Mihil Ahi (registered name Ahi) and 12 points by Kim Woo-jin, but failed to keep the advantage of the first set and bowed his head.

KB Insurance was leading 23-22 in the first set, but lost points on the opponent's serve in a row and unfortunately gave up the set.

KB Insurance, which turned the game to square one with 25-17 with an even attack in the second set, struggled with Ahi's blockade, which exploded 10 points alone, but took the lead by catching five blocks and double guns with Villena and Na Kyung-bok.

In the fourth set, KB Insurance, which headed to deuce with Cha Young-seok's fastball, ended the game with Lim Sung-jin's blocking following Villena's serve ace, in a situation where it could have gone to the fifth set with 23-24, just one point.
