In the 7th minute 武汉三镇足球队 were awarded a corner. 汪骏阳 went to the cornerflag to take it. 武汉三镇足球队's 汪骏阳 was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Gregory Hildmann in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 12th minute Bernhard Krier collided with an opponent which caused him a fractured collar bone. 12 minutes into the game, 谢枫宁 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 武汉三镇足球队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Saint Etienne the free kick. Saint Etienne's Günther Altschuler was substituted for Bernhard Krier. The supporters of Saint Etienne booed when 武汉三镇足球队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 14 match minutes in a wonderful position. 谢枫宁 didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a rather tough play, Saint Etienne's Jonas Majerus got a free kick in the 22nd minute. After some careless play in the 武汉三镇足球队 defense, Raphaël Favre kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 郭鸿凌.

The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

If Jonas Majerus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 余真青 ran back to his position shaking his head. The audience was convinced that Günther Altschuler's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 郭鸿凌 was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. When Günther Altschuler came up free with the goalie in the 84th minute, the Saint Etienne 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 Günther Altschuler couldn't finish the play. Saint Etienne's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Timothy Hantzsch in the 91st minute. 邵梁晨 tried in the 91st minute to hit away a contribution but miss-kicked the ball which ended up in his own goal and left an unhappy 郭鸿凌 a with quite unnecessary self made goal. Result 4-4. 95 minutes into the match, Saint Etienne's goal looked a bit too open when 白棋希 came free, but Gregory Hildmann reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the 武汉三镇足球队 players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
