Megawati Cs Lost 3 Times in a Row

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi and the Red Sparks team suffered three consecutive defeats after losing again on Saturday (16/11/2024) to Hyundai Engineering & Construction Hillstate in the continuation of the South Korean Volleyball League or V-League season 2024/2025.

Against the defending champion, Red Sparks lost with a set score of 1-3 (18-25, 16-25, 25-23, and 19-25). Hyundai’s dominance was seen from the 11 blocks that Lee Da-hyeon managed to make, which became a solid wall in front of the Red Sparks attackers.

Since the first set, the Red Sparks were under pressure. Their efforts to recover, including through Megawati’s serve, failed to penetrate Hyundai’s solid defense. Red Sparks foreign player, Vanja Bukilic, continued to be locked in attacks which Hyundai managed to suppress.

Red Sparks coach Ko Hee-jin assessed that the opponent had very good block defense. On the other hand, the Red Sparks players also made a lot of mistakes.

“This match was one-sided, and our performance was far from satisfactory,” said Ko Hee-jin, as reported by Naver.

Ko Hee-jin hopes that his children will be able to rise and show their best performance in the upcoming match.

“As a coach, it is difficult for me to say much about a match like this. Winning even one set is not a good thing if the overall performance is not visible. The players are certainly aware of this. “Our focus now is to prepare better for the next match,” said Ko Hee-Jin.

In today’s match, Megawati scored 22 points, the highest in the Red Sparks team. Meanwhile, Momo Bassoko recorded 26 points for Hyundai. Red Sparks is currently ranked fourth behind Pink Spiders, Hyundai Hyundai Engineering & Construction, and IBK Altos.
