Spectators: 165 (Terracing: 124, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) Santos Taurino started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Ronald Wu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 4th minute of the match, but Gregorio Romero made a huge save. 曲坚德's late challenge caught a ≮王者归来≯国际米兰's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 曲坚德 helped the player get up and apologised. 曲坚德 hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. After 7 played minutes, ≮王者归来≯国际米兰's Carlos Zanetti shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Gregorio Romero came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in ≮王者归来≯国际米兰 reached it. After some careless play in the 风云竞技 defense, 刘冰星 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gregorio Romero. The 风云竞技 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gregorio Romero should have stopped the shot. Jason Statham made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mutlu Daman in the 14th minute of play. The supporters of 风云竞技 booed when ≮王者归来≯国际米兰 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Burtt Millar didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 16th match minute, ≮王者归来≯国际米兰 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dale Dolar to maneuver through the defense. A collision led to 风云竞技 getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. 陶星天 hit a great ball. Santos Taurino blasted a shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Gregorio Romero having to make a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Santos Taurino in the 22nd minute of play forced 风云竞技's goalkeeper Gregorio Romero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Santos Taurino had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience was convinced that Mutlu Daman's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jason Statham was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. The throw-in from 傅岚扬 in the 40th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by ≮王者归来≯国际米兰's Ronald Wu. In the 40th minute, Santos Taurino left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ≮王者归来≯国际米兰 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Santos Taurino in the 45th minute of play forced 风云竞技's goalkeeper Gregorio Romero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match clock showed 47 minutes, the score became 4-0 when Santos Taurino sped through 风云竞技's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Gregorio Romero. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mutlu Daman to make the kick off. With a little luck, ≮王者归来≯国际米兰's Jason Statham got control of the ball when Mutlu Daman tried to sneak it across the goal line. Santos Taurino's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Gregorio Romero read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 61st minute of play. 65 minutes into the match, 风云竞技's goal looked a bit too open when Santos Taurino came free, but Gregorio Romero reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Santos Taurino in the 67th minute of play forced 风云竞技's goalkeeper Gregorio Romero to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mutlu Damans short, quick shot in the 70thth minute got Jason Statham to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. If Mutlu Daman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. ≮王者归来≯国际米兰 made a substitution. 张学友 Wu replaced Santos Taurino. ≮王者归来≯国际米兰's Ronald Wu managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by 傅岚扬 in the 80 minute of the game. In the 86thth minute of the game 张学友 Wu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but 风云竞技's Gregorio Romero was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 张学友 Wu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. A well-hit corner resulted in Burtt Millar heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. In the 95th match minute, 风云竞技 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 陆沙轩 to maneuver through the defense.
