Korea Electric Power Corporation's foreign ace Sharon Benon Evans (registered name Benon) has started to solidify spring volleyball with his explosive scoring ability.

KEPCO beat Woori Card with a set score of 3-1 (26-24, 31-33, 25-23, 25-17) in the fifth round of the regular league of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 2nd.

As a result, Korea Electric Power Corp., which earned three points, trailed second-place Korean Air (16-8 with 47 points) by four points with 15 wins and 11 losses (43 points). On the other hand, Woori Card, ranked sixth, failed to close the gap with OK Savings Bank, ranked fifth, which played one less game with 11 wins and 15 losses (32 points).

Ace Benon led the attack with 34 points, the most in both teams. Kim Jung-ho and Musawel Khan (registered name Musawel) also helped Benon with 17 points and 10 points, respectively. Woori Card's twin guns Rafael Araujo (registered name Araujo) and Ali Hagparast (registered name Ali) scored 24 points and 20 points, respectively, but failed to lead in explosive power.

It was tight from the first set. The center of Arauzo-Ali foreigners' twin guns and Park Jin-woo-Lee Sang-hyun scored evenly against KEPCO ace Benon. Korea Electric Power Corp. was the first to reach the 20-point mark. Following Kim Jung-ho's quick opening, Shin Young-seok quickly hit an empty space and made the 20th point.

Since then, KEPCO has scored three consecutive points since rookie Yoon Ha-joon. Woori Card also fought back with deuce, with Kim Ji-han blocking Benon's back attack following Araujo's back attack. However, Benon gave KEPCO the first set as he blocked Araujo's attack following the back attack.

A similar pattern was developed in the second set. Araujo and Ali Bipo fired, giving Woori Card an 18-14 lead. Araujo's back attack shook the court of Korea Electric Power Corp. in a row, and Woori Card seemed to be ahead.

Korea Electric Power Corporation also turned the tables 22-21 as Moussawel and Benon joined the scoring procession. In the 25-25 deuce, Woori Card's conversion pipe was blocked by Shin Young-seok.

However, KEPCO was hardly finished. The serve continued to get caught in the net, and Woori Card continued to block and persistently followed. Eventually Benon was exhausted. Jang Ji-won did not receive Ali's serve properly in a set point made by Ali's quick open score. Bennon chased to the end and tried to cross the net, but Woori Card made a set tie as it missed.

KEPCO did not repeat the same mistake. In the third set, Araujo's back attack escaped amid a fierce battle after 20 points, and KEPCO took the set point. Jung Sung-kyu's high ball was attempted by Ali, but he gave up three sets in vain as he left the end line wide.

On this day, Woori Card expressed a lot of regret in the video review. The same was true of the 10-10 situation in the fourth set. When Ha Seung-woo's foot crossed the center line as he fell at the dig, Woori Card asked for a video review. However, the readers judged that the center line invasion was a normal play in the process of falling. Ali also protested vehemently against it.

Every time, Woori Card's middle blocker quickly brought the atmosphere. Park Joon-hyuk and Lee Sang-hyun tied 12-12 by blocking Ali and Musawel's attacks in succession. There was also a scene where sportsmanship stood out. At 12-12, Ali's spike hit Jang Ji-won in the face. When Jang Ji-won couldn't get up, Ali immediately went over the court and looked.

Korea Electric Power Corporation took the lead when Benon was serving. With a 17-16 lead, Kim Jung-ho scored a quick open, and Benon shook Woori Card's receiving with a strong serve. Kim Jung-ho blocked Araujo's back attack and stepped on the 20-point mark. Woori Card lost its will to chase after Ali's injury out. The attack continued to miss and eventually gave up the game.
