On the other side, Allen continued his excellent performances. In the face of Higgins' counterattack, he did not panic, but played steadily, gradually extending his lead. With his precise hitting and excellent tactical set-up, he managed to keep Higgins in a relatively passive position.
Although Higgins also tried to turn the situation around by adjusting his tactics, he looked a little powerless in the face of Allen's consistent play. At the end of the first two periods, Allen narrowly led Higgins, giving people hope of a title shot.
