Entering the match with good form, player Tran Thanh Luc had a favorable start when scoring 4 points after two sets. However, Cho Myung-woo quickly showed his class with an 8-point shot to take the lead.
In the next stage, the Korean player suddenly made a mistake when hitting the ball off the table in the 6th set, creating an opportunity for Thanh Luc to take advantage and take the lead 22-10. However, the turning point of the match appeared in the 11th set when Cho unleashed a 17-point shot to reverse the game, leading back 27-22.
From this point on, Cho Myung-woo played more stably and effectively, while Thanh Luc faced many psychological difficulties and missed some important opportunities. After 15 turns, the Korean player widened the gap to 40-26. Thanh Luc still tried to chase, adding 9 points to narrow the score to 35-43, but could not create a comeback.
Cho Myung-woo continued to maintain his excitement and closed the match with a 7-point shot in the 22nd shot, winning the overall 50-35 victory. He achieved an average efficiency of 2.272 points/shot, while Thanh Luc achieved 1.590 points/shot.
Although unable to defend the title, Thanh Luc was still the most outstanding Vietnamese player in the Bogota leg when many names such as Tran Quyet Chien, Bao Phuong Vinh or Chiem Hong Thai stopped early. On the journey to the final, the player born in 1990 successively overcame strong opponents such as Birol Uymaz, Dick Jaspers and Martin Horn.
The leg in Bogota is the first 3-band Carom World Cup in 2026. According to the plan, the next leg of the tournament system will take place in Ho Chi Minh City in May 2026, promising to continue to be an opportunity for Vietnamese players to compete for high achievements at home.
