Spectators: 7514 (Terracing: 5636, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 杨飞景 took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 12 minutes Sportivo Desamparados's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was 尹光霆 who took care of the corner kick. ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人 were awarded a corner in the 14th minute after Sportivo Desamparados's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. 尹光霆 took the corner. After taking down the ball on ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人's corner 尹光霆 fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Vinicio Liberto quite easily take care of the ball. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Sportivo Desamparados's goalie and right to 王奕宇. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Sportivo Desamparados's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Luca Balbo to make the kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Sportivo Desamparados's goal looked a bit too open when 柯强傲 came free, but Vinicio Liberto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 55 minutes of play, ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人's 王奕宇 made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Vinicio Liberto was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience thought a goal was coming when 王奕宇 got free with Vinicio Liberto in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If 王奕宇 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. A collision led to Sportivo Desamparados getting a freekick after 70 minutes play. Julio Inocente hit a great ball. 董志宇's shot from long distance was a real pearl which went to the right and just passed Vinicio Liberto - 1-2 was put on the score board in the 71st minute. When 董志宇 came up free with the goalie in the 85th minute, the ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人 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 董志宇 couldn't finish the play. Alonzo Rito hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. If 柯强傲 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 94 minutes into the game, Luca Sorin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Sportivo Desamparados's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人 the free kick. In the 94th minute, Luca Sorin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by 王奕宇 in the 95th minute of play forced Sportivo Desamparados's goalkeeper Vinicio Liberto to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. ≮Empire≯☆蜀☆浪人's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
