In the 4th inning, O’Sullivan scored 62 points in one stroke. Murphy started chasing. Before hitting the winning black ball, a flying insect appeared at the mouth of the target bag. Murphy, with sharp-eyed eyes, asked the referee to drive away the uninvited guest. The magician scored the black ball 76-62 to win the game. The two entered the break 2-2.

In the 5th inning, O’Sullivan kicked off the ball and missed the far stage. Murphy made a decisive fight and only made a 6-point frame error.
