Spectators: 7209 (Terracing: 5409, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) 江苏南通球球队's 史宇城 started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 5 minutes into the match, 江苏南通球球队's 张迅国 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 顾轩杰 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 顾轩杰 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 张迅国 in the 7th minute of play. If 魏云青 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 陶凡林's late challenge caught a ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 陶凡林 helped the player get up and apologised. 魏云青 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. 庄冰卫 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 19th minute, 魏云青 reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of 庄冰卫. The goal made the score 1-0. After 29 minutes, 黄卫 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ and the 江苏南通球球队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 29th match minute, ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 黄卫 to maneuver through the defense. When 梅剑榕 came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the 江苏南通球球队 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 梅剑榕 couldn't finish the play. In the 34th match minute, ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 黄卫 to maneuver through the defense. 庄冰卫 stood somewhat misplaced when 魏云青 came free in front of goal and shot 2-0 to the left of him in the 37 minute. 张迅国 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. 顾轩杰 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If 张迅国 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 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 魏云青 to make the kick off. 张迅国 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 顾轩杰 having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 55th minute, 方竞星 managed to get in a good position for a shot. ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ's supporters rose to their feet, but 方竞星 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 庄冰卫 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 66 minutes into the match, 张迅国 notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ's 顾轩杰. 顾轩杰 was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 71st minute, 张迅国 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 江苏南通球球队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. With a little luck, ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ's 顾轩杰 got control of the ball when 张迅国 tried to sneak it across the goal line. 79 minutes into the match, 方竞星 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 庄冰卫. 江苏南通球球队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 方竞星 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. When the match had gone on for 84 minutes, 魏云青 put it in 4-2 from a short distance just to the right of 庄冰卫. 顾轩杰 made a fantastic save in the 87th minute, when 张迅国 sent off a good shot on target. 魏云青 might have been able to make a better finish in the 89th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 庄冰卫. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 魏云青 ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 91st match minute, ¡¾ÇØ¡¿¡¸×ÔÓÉÌì¿Õ¡¹Ñó¤ÅÌìÏ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 黄卫 to maneuver through the defense. 江苏南通球球队's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
