Choi Jung-min had 11 points with five solo blocks, while Hwang Min-kyung focused four of her eight points on the fifth set.

Meanwhile, the end of the first set saw a rare situation where the ‘end of set’ was reversed.

With the score 24-22 in favor of DOT, an overnet was called for IBK’s Ponpun Gedpard (registered name Ponpun), who was trying to block an attack by DOT’s Kim Se-bin.

Referee Nam Young-soo declared the set over, but Kim Ho-cheol, the head coach of IBK, argued that Kim Se-bin was responsible for the attack, not Ponpoon’s overnet.

This claim was accepted and the players, who had moved to the opposite court, returned to their seats.

Roadworks head coach Kim Jong-min requested a video review, which showed that Kim Se-bin’s attack touched Phonpun’s body and went out of bounds, thus preserving Roadworks’ first set victory. 카지노사이트
