Hyundai Capital strongly protested the referee's decision from the match and officially raised an objection.

Hyundai Capital lost 2-3 in the second match of the men's championship (three wins out of five) of the 2025-2026 V-League against Korean Air at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on the 4th.

Hyundai Capital, which gave up both the first and second games, was on the brink.

The controversial scene came in the fateful fifth set of a 2-2 set score. Hyundai Capital hit a powerful spike serve hit by foreign player Leo at the match point with a 14-13 lead and was declared out.

In response, Hyundai Capital immediately requested a video review. On the broadcast screen, the ball appeared to be finely applied to the sideline, but the final decision was left out as it was.

Hyundai Capital, which missed a decisive opportunity to end the game, eventually allowed a turnaround. After a close deuce match, he was defeated by dedicating the fifth set to 16-18.

After the game, Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc came to the court and did not hide his anger over the decision, angering him with anger during the handshake process with his opponent, Korean Air coach Renan Dal Zotto.

Hyundai Capital, which judged that the victory was lost, officially filed an objection with the Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) immediately after the game. KOVO will convene a related meeting on the morning of the 5th to closely review the sincerity and misjudgment of the decision and notify Hyundai Capital of the results.
