Korean Air, a men's professional volleyball team, is close to achieving the long-awaited "Treble (triple crown)."

Korean Air won a set-score 3-2 (25-23 25-18 24-26 18-25 18-16) after a close game in full set against Hyundai Capital in the second round of the Jin Air 2025-26 V-League Men's Championship at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 4th.

Korean Air, which won both the first and second games, has only one win left until the unified championship following the KOVO Cup and the top spot in the regular league this season. There is a 100% chance that the team that won the first and second games in a row in the men's championship in the V-League will win the championship.

On this day, Korean Air led the attack by combining a total of 38 points, 19 points each for Jung Ji-seok and Lim Dong-hyuk. Maso also contributed to the victory by adding 14 points. On the other hand, Hyundai Capital scored 34 points, the most by both teams, including eight blocks, and Huh Soo-bong fought hard with 15 points, but bowed his head to defeat.

The game was as exciting as the first game. Korean Air seemed to take the lead early by winning the first and second sets in a row, but Hyundai Capital took down the third and fourth sets with a fierce background to lead the game to five sets.

Until the second half of the fifth set, Hyundai Capital seemed to complete the reversal, leading 11-8. However, in the crisis just before the 13-14 defeat, Leo (Hyundai Capital)'s Kang serve was declared out after a video review, and Korean Air revived.

Korean Air, riding the flow, made a match point with Jeong Han-yong's quick open in the 16-16 deuce situation, followed by Jung Ji-seok's last attack, which was recognized as Choi Min-ho's touchout after a video review.

Game 3 of fate, where the champion may be decided, will be held at 7 p.m. on the 6th at Cheonan Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium, the home of Hyundai Capital.
