Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when 魏卫云 kicked off to start the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by 麦正响 in the 10th minute of play forced ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's goalkeeper 忠 杨浩兴 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 魏卫云 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lucian Arghiroiu having to interfere. 魏卫云 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 15th minute of the match, but Lucian Arghiroiu made a huge save. 忠 杨浩兴 stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of 麦正响's shot from short distance in the 19th minute. 21 minutes into the match, ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's goal looked a bit too open when 麦正响 came free, but 忠 杨浩兴 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 23rd minute 麦正响 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 忠 杨浩兴 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 30 minutes had been played when some careless play by ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. 梅震翀 was slow to take the kick. During this time 北京西城区雄狮联队's players had a chance to rest. It was a well-played corner which 康夕战 managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. When 吴榕升 came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the ≮王者归来≯恒方FC 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 吴榕升 couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, 麦正响 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 北京西城区雄狮联队's supporters rose to their feet, but 麦正响 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 忠 杨浩兴 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in 北京西城区雄狮联队's zone, 吴榕升 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Lucian Arghiroiu came out of the goal and 吴榕升 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 梅政强's late challenge caught a ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 梅政强 helped the player get up and apologised. After 39 played minutes 北京西城区雄狮联队 got a freekick which was hit by 梅政强. After some careless play in the ≮王者归来≯恒方FC defense, 武风霖 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 忠 杨浩兴. The ≮王者归来≯恒方FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 忠 杨浩兴 should have stopped the shot. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for 麦正响 to strike the kick off in the second half. Lucian Arghiroiu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 魏卫云 in the 53rd minute of the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling 麦正响 in the 56th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck 忠 杨浩兴 prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 57th minute, 吴榕升 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A hard shot 63 in the game by 麦正响 from a close distance when the talented 忠 杨浩兴 managed to make a qualified save. ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's players were relieved. If Juliusz Cuber had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 68th minute 武风霖 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 忠 杨浩兴 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers 魏卫云 in the 71st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Lucian Arghiroiu saved 北京西城区雄狮联队 from getting behind. When the match had gone on for 76 minutes, 武风霖 took a quick shot and it went in 0-2 without a chance for 忠 杨浩兴 to make any attempt to save it. 麦正响's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but 忠 杨浩兴 firmly grabbed it by the left post. The audience was convinced that 武风霖's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 忠 杨浩兴 was relentless in the 94th minute of the game. A hard shot 95 in the game by 梅政强 from a close distance when the talented 忠 杨浩兴 managed to make a qualified save. ≮王者归来≯恒方FC's players were relieved. 北京西城区雄狮联队's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
