Hyundai Engineering & Construction, a women's professional volleyball team, beat Jeong Kwan-jang and continued to compete for the top spot in the regular league.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction defeated Jeong Kwan-jang 3-1 (25-21, 25-27, 25-22, 25-23) in the away match of the women's professional volleyball V-League at Daejeon Chungmu Gymnasium on the 12th.

With the victory, Hyundai Engineering & Construction recorded 65 points (22-13), trailing the leading Korea Expressway Corporation (66 points, 23-11), which played one less game.

If Hyundai Engineering & Construction lost on this day, the Korea Expressway Corporation's regular league victory would have been confirmed, but Hyundai Engineering & Construction directly beat Jeong Kwan-jang and continued its willingness to win the regular league come-from-behind championship.

Of course, the team that still has the advantage is the road corporation. The Korea Expressway Corporation will face Heungkuk Life Insurance, ranked third, at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 13th, and if it wins this game, it will confirm the top spot in the regular league with the final match left.

However, if the Korea Expressway Corporation loses to Heungkuk Life Insurance, the direction of the women's top regular league team will be determined by the final results of the regular league match between the Korea Expressway Corporation and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, respectively.

Korea Expressway Corporation will play a home game against IBK Industrial Bank on the 17th, and Hyundai Engineering & Construction will go on an away trip to GS Caltex on the 18th.

If the Korea Expressway Corporation beats the Industrial Bank of Korea, it will also confirm the championship, but on the contrary, if it loses to the Industrial Bank of Korea following the Heungkuk Life Insurance match, Hyundai Engineering & Construction will have a dramatic opportunity to turn around in the final regular league match.

In the game, which is "the second place in the regular league if lost", Hyundai Engineering & Construction did not lose its concentration and accumulated valuable three points.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which succeeded in gaining the lead by winning 25-21 from the first set, lost the second set after a close deuce match, but added back-to-back points by Lee Ye-rim and Zastis in a tight situation of 22-21 in the third set to change the atmosphere.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which took the victory, was also shaken by Jeong Kwan-jang's persistent pursuit in the fourth set, but Kim Hee-jin's quick-attack score at the end of the set ended the game by tying the opponent's serve error.

On the same day, Na Hyun-soo scored 0 points on 2 holes, while Jastis (17 points), Lee Ye-rim (16 points) and Yang Hyo-jin (14 points) also helped by double-digit scores.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who struggled with 23 points by Zanete and 16 points and 11 points by Park Yeoreum and Lee Sun-woo, respectively, fell into a swamp of two consecutive losses and remained at the bottom with 26 points (8-27).

At the same time, Korean Air defeated KB Insurance 3-0 (25-18, 25-20, 27-25) at home at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon and had only one win left to confirm the top spot in the regular league.

Korean Air finished the game in 1 hour and 23 minutes with Lim Dong-hyuk scoring 19 points, the most by both teams, while Jung Ji-seok scored 13 points, including 3 blocks, and Eden 11.

Korean Air, which has accumulated 69 points (23 wins and 11 losses), widened its gap with second-place Hyundai Capital (66 points, 21 wins and 13 losses) to three points. The remaining number of games is two each.

Hyundai Capital will play Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (home) match on the 13th and Korean Air will play OK Savings Bank (away) match on the 15th, respectively, and a "confrontation" is expected in Cheonan on the 19th.

Korean Air will confirm the top spot in the regular league on its own if Hyundai Capital loses to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance on the 13th or beats OK Savings Bank directly on the 15th. Instead, if Hyundai Capital's victory and Korean Air's defeat come out one after another, the final regular league match between the two teams on the 19th will be the "No. 1 regular league match."
