In a recent match of the Korean Women's Volleyball League on Wednesday (21/2), Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi brought solace to Gyselle Silva following Red Sparks' sweeping victory against GS Caltex. The Red Sparks secured a convincing 3-0 win in the final game of the fifth round of the 2023/2024 season, solidifying their comfortable position in third place.
Despite Gyselle Silva's remarkable performance, contributing the highest number of points with 28, her efforts were not enough to lift GS Caltex above the Red Sparks. This marked GS Caltex's second defeat against the Red Sparks, leaving the 32-year-old athlete visibly disheartened.
Megawati, affectionately known as "Megatron," showcased her prowess on the court by amassing 21 points, making her the top scorer for the Red Sparks in that match. Her exceptional performance proved instrumental in securing victory for her team.
Following the intense match, Megawati engaged in a heartfelt conversation with some GS Caltex players, including Lee Yoon Shin. Their discussion took place while standing on the court sidelines. Shortly after, Megawati approached Gyselle, who was seated with a heavy heart, and embraced her tenderly while uttering words of comfort.
Accompanied by another Red Sparks player, Yeum Hye Seon, Megawati continued to console Gyselle, forming a touching moment of solidarity and empathy. The trio shared a comforting embrace, symbolizing the camaraderie and sportsmanship inherent in the world of volleyball.
As the Red Sparks and GS Caltex continue to vie for dominance in the league standings, with only one round remaining comprising six matches, the rivalry between the two teams intensifies. Megawati and Gyselle remain focal points of attention as they strive to lead their respective teams to victory, showcasing their prowess as the team's leading scorers.
