Spectators: 140 (Terracing: 106, Seating: 32, VIP seats: 2) Hershel Guertin started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind 常州飞鹰俱乐部队's goalkeeper 沈响广, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Marc Lagerberg's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 沈响广 was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. Stig Bengtsson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 莫松耀 in the 14th minute of the match. 17 minutes into the match, Christopher Ahlerot had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 沈响广. 常州飞鹰俱乐部队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Christopher Ahlerot was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Jorma Jääskeläinen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 沈响广 having to interfere.

After a rather tough play, The Northmen Army's Marc Lagerberg got a free kick in the 37th minute. After having played for 40 minutes, Marc Lagerberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. The Northmen Army's supporters crossed their fingers, but Marc Lagerberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in 常州飞鹰俱乐部队's zone, Jorma Jääskeläinen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 沈响广 came out of the goal and Jorma Jääskeläinen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Albertino Severiano had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 鲁鸿适 was the one to do the kick off. 沈响广 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Marc Lagerberg, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that 卓旭银's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Stig Bengtsson was relentless in the 61st minute of the game.
