The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 曲剑铮 charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 曲剑铮 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to 广西河池飞人联队 getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. 曲剑铮 hit a great ball. When 广西河池飞人联队's 邵凡军 in the 7th minute got a chance for a shot 7th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's goalie prevented a goal. ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's 康朗海 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save ≮Empire≯Royal Guard from getting a goal against them. When 孟凡瑜 came up free with the goalie in the 16th minute, the ≮Empire≯Royal Guard fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that 孟凡瑜 couldn't finish the play. 21 minutes into the match, 孟凡瑜 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 周雄昂. 广西河池飞人联队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 孟凡瑜 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. With a little luck, ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's 康朗海 got control of the ball when 吕银文 tried to sneak it across the goal line. 吕银文 took the ball and in the 30 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 康朗海. 康朗海 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's 康朗海 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 邵凡军 in the 40th minute of play. ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's 孟凡瑜 quite brazenly broke a throw-in by 柳珂弘, made in the 44th minute of the game. If 孟凡瑜 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 康朗海 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 邵凡军, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 邵凡军 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute, 吕银文 made a precise shot to the right of 康朗海. ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. After 56 played minutes 广西河池飞人联队 got a freekick which was hit by 柳珂弘. After having played for 60 minutes, 武星迅 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's supporters crossed their fingers, but 武星迅 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 62 minutes, 吕银文 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 广西河池飞人联队 and the ≮Empire≯Royal Guard players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of ≮Empire≯Royal Guard booed when 广西河池飞人联队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. 吕银文 didn't get a good kick on the ball. 武星迅 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 69th minute, 武星迅 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. 79 minutes into the match, ≮Empire≯Royal Guard's goal looked a bit too open when 任诚适 came free, but 康朗海 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 82 minutes of play, 广西河池飞人联队's 邵凡军 made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 康朗海 was left in no man's land by his defense there! 广西河池飞人联队's 鲁真旭 couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 89th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for ≮Empire≯Royal Guard. 92 minutes into the match, 任邦超 dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of 周雄昂, 3-2. The audience thought a goal was coming when 武星迅 got free with 周雄昂 in the 96th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The 广西河池飞人联队 support was delighted with a win in a match that could easily have ended differently.
