Wakelin won the opening frame with a 73 break, but Chang won frame two and made a century of 107 to take frame three. Wakelin then produced breaks including 66, 96, 70, and 66 as he won five consecutive frames to lead 6–2 after the first session.[{{Cite web |date=21 December 2025 |title=Wakelin in charge of Edinburgh showpiece |url=https://www.wst.tv/news/2025/december/21/wakelin-in-charge-of-edinburgh-showpiece-1/ |access-date=21 December 2025 |website=[[World Snooker Tour]] |language=en}}] In the second session, Wakelin made breaks of 50, 67, and 104 as he won another three consecutive frames, for a total of eight consecutive frames in the match, to complete a 9–2 victory.[{{cite web |date=21 December 2025 |title=2025 Scottish Open: Chris Wakelin v Chang Bingyu |url=https://www.wst.tv/match-centre/cd7e61d3-7854-4b0a-8874-a91d04cad1c1 |access-date=21 December 2025 |website=[[World Snooker Tour]] |language=en-GB}}] It was the second ranking title of Wakelin's career and his first time winning a full-format final. He re-entered the top 16 after the tournament, moving up from 17th to 14th place in the world rankings. "It was an incredible game," said Wakelin afterwards. "I felt like I got on top of him early in the match. That first session was a bit of a killer. I came out tonight and I was determined to get the job done quickly and as pain free as possible. I'm absolutely delighted with how I played today." He added: "I believed in myself ahead of the match. Just believing in myself over the last couple of years has been the catalyst." Chang, who advanced from 70th to 62nd in the rankings as runner-up, said: "I didn't think I could make it this far or be in this final. I'm happy because I've made huge progress. I must thank my parents. They have put in a lot of effort to make me a professional.
