Spectators: 7777 (Terracing: 5833, Seating: 1789, VIP seats: 155) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when 王锋锋 got the match started through his kick off.

Amado Ignazio didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 江苏YZJ联队.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that 王锋锋 couldn't finish the play. 石常磊 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Luciano Paez, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute.
