In the second half, Perez unexpectedly lost his rhythm. In the next 17 turns (from 14 to 30), the Peruvian player only scored a meager 5 points against Nguyen Hoang Yen Nhi's rather tight defense. This was also an opportunity for the Vietnamese player to narrow the gap. The difference was reduced to just 1 point after 32 turns, with Perez leading 20-19. In the final turns, Perez woke up and held a significant advantage to win, leading 20-25, then 29-20 (after 39 turns). Although only 1 point away from a semi-final spot, Perez could not finish the game, partly due to bad luck. Conversely, Yen Nhi added a series of 4 and 3 points to reach 27 points. The score was leveled at 29-29 after 45 turns.

After 48 innings, Nguyen Hoang Yen Nhi staged an incredible comeback to win 30-29 against Perez, securing her place in the semi-finals of the 2024 Women's 3-Cushion Carom Billiards World Championship. In the semi-finals, the Vietnamese player will face Charlotte Soerensen (Denmark) at 4 PM today (September 12th, Vietnam time).
