Families enjoying their weekend make their way to the stadium.

The championship match marks the end of the Handball H League's long journey.

Samcheok City Hall, pushed to the brink after losing the first match, puts pressure on SK from the start.

The unique fast breaks initiated by their goalkeeper Park Saeyoung succeed one after another.

However, SK, who had never lost to Samcheok City Hall this season, was different.

Kang Kyungmin's plays were lead with speed.

The pivot, Kang Eunhye, with her overwhelming physical condition, also scores from the center.

Goalkeeper Park Jo-eun makes a save with her forehead and shows a thumbs-up, drawing cheers from the crowd.

SK finishes the first half with a four-point lead but is chased down to a one-point difference early in the second half due to the opponent's fast break.
