Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 顾震海 made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by 顾震海 in the 52nd minute of play forced 南京皇家联队's goalkeeper 姜潮迅 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 53 minutes into the match, 新疆乌鲁木齐探索者队's 白希鹰 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 姜潮迅 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 赵杰烨's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 姜潮迅 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 59th minute of play. After having played for 62 minutes, 赵杰烨 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 新疆乌鲁木齐探索者队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 赵杰烨 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. A nice corner shot did that 姚崇城 got away a dangerous shot. Despite this 姜潮迅 quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 69th minute, 钱枫耀 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 南京皇家联队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3.
