The Indonesian Air Force Electric men's team opened up the opportunity to qualify for the Grand Final of the 2025 Livoli Main Division after defeating Indomaret 3-0 (25-19, 25-15, 25-21), in the final four match at the Ki Mageti Sports Hall, Magetan Regency, East Java, on Wednesday.
Indonesian Air Force coach Electric Sukirno appreciated his players' discipline in implementing strategies, especially in the defense sector.
"The key to today's game was the discipline of our middle blockers , who successfully quelled the opponent's attacks from the start. Furthermore, the players appeared calmer than in the previous match and were able to minimize errors in the decisive moments," he said in a written statement .
Indomaret Assistant Coach Lardi assessed that his team's defeat was due to a weak first-time ball reception.
"We lost in terms of receiving quality, which is the most fatal factor. When receiving isn't optimal, it's difficult for the setter to develop their game, and their attacks become easily readable by the opponent," he said.
This victory is valuable capital for the Indonesian Air Force in the fight for a ticket to the grand final to accompany LavAni Navy, which had already qualified.
Of the five matches, the Indonesian Air Force collected three wins with eight points and is in second place in the standings.
