However, today’s loss to Heungkuk Life Insurance was very painful.

If Hyundai Engineering & Construction wins 3 points in a row against IBK Industrial Bank on the 9th and Pepper Savings Bank on the 16th, even if Heungkuk Life Insurance wins against Hyundai Engineering & Construction on the 12th and defeats GS Caltex on the 15th, Hyundai will be ranked first in the regular league. Construction takes over.

This means that the magic number to secure first place in the regular league has completely gone to Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
