The match on the evening of October 26 in the Netherlands was an exciting reunion between Tran Quyet Chien and his Belgian opponent, Frederic Caudron. Both players brought a tense atmosphere, after the previous fierce match at the Porto World Cup last July, where Quyet Chien won with a close score of 40-38.
In the early stages of the match, Tran Quyet Chien made fans nervous when he was a bit unsteady. Although he opened with the first point, he slowed down in the next 7 turns, only scoring 1 more point. However, luck seemed to be on the side of the Vietnamese player when Caudron was also unable to take advantage of the opportunity to create a significant gap.
Entering the 8th turn, Tran Quyet Chien regained his form and scored 7 points in a row, temporarily taking the lead. From here, the match became extremely dramatic, with the scores constantly chasing each other closely. While the pressure increased, both sides made many mistakes, missing golden opportunities to increase the score.
However, Tran Quyet Chien proved to be the one who regained his spirit faster, broke out strongly and created a gap of 10 points, leading 44-34 and then 47-38. Finally, he ended the match with an impressive 50-38 victory after 28 innings, officially crowned champion at Veghel 2024.
The trophy at Veghel marks the fourth time Tran Quyet Chien has won the World Cup, adding to his impressive record after titles in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018, Porto in 2023 and Bogota in 2024. This is also his second trophy in 2024, affirming his position as Vietnam's top player in the international arena.
