香港大球場
Spectators: 7536 (Terracing: 5764, Seating: 1767, VIP seats: 5) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 狄建弘 started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Hong Kong Football Club booed when 【№1】天津津门虎 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. 余景梁 didn't get a good kick on the ball. 12 minutes into the match, Hong Kong Football Club's 毛桦星 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 高政杰 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, 唐海沙 managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hong Kong Football Club's supporters rose to their feet, but 唐海沙 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 高政杰 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 毛桦星 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. 高政杰 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that 高南军's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 高政杰 was relentless in the 41st minute of the game. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 高南军 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute the ball was on its way in behind 【№1】天津津门虎's goalkeeper 高政杰, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 史军奕 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. 孙源川 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 史军奕 struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. 孙源川 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 【№1】天津津门虎. 狄建弘 did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 0-1 to the left of a surprised 孙源川 57 minutes into the match. In the 62nd minute, 唐海沙 got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 高政杰 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 毛桦星, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 64 minutes into the match, 毛桦星 notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of 【№1】天津津门虎's 高政杰. 高政杰 was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hong Kong Football Club's 孙源川 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 68th minute of the match, managed to save Hong Kong Football Club from getting a goal against them. Hong Kong Football Club's 孙源川 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 狄建弘 in the 71st minute of play. 史军奕 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 72nd minute of the match, but 孙源川 made a huge save. The supporters of Hong Kong Football Club booed when 【№1】天津津门虎 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 79 match minutes in a wonderful position. 魏乐宇 didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in 【№1】天津津门虎's zone, 许梁康 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 高政杰 came out of the goal and 许梁康 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 89th minute, 唐海沙 made a precise shot to the right of 高政杰. 【№1】天津津门虎's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Hong Kong Football Club had played much better football throughout.
