When the match had gone on for 12 minutes, 吴桦松 put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of 梅瑜笑. An unexpectedly hard shot by 黄森坚 in the 15th minute of play forced 陕西咸阳火龙联队's goalkeeper 宋皓思 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 陕西咸阳火龙联队 were furious when 林挺益 was red carded, 19 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In a very dangerous position, a player in 陕西咸阳火龙联队 fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 18th minute. Penalty! 27 minutes into the game, 倪兴笑 recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of 宋皓思. 倪兴笑 showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-2. When the match clock showed 30 minutes, the score became 3-2 when 朱霖宁 sped through 陕西咸阳火龙联队's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of 宋皓思. 邱鹰磊 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 宋皓思 made an important save on a dangerous shot by 朱霖宁 in the 40th minute. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 邱鹰磊 made a kick off. 吴桦松's late challenge caught a 广东梅州变色龙代表队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 吴桦松 helped the player get up and apologised. After a defensive mix-up in 陕西咸阳火龙联队's zone, 倪兴笑 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 宋皓思 came out of the goal and 倪兴笑 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 57th minute, 倪兴笑 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 广东梅州变色龙代表队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-2. 邵南亦 was extremely unlucky when he, in the 63rd minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. 朱霖宁 blasted a shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 宋皓思 having to make a save. 朱霖宁 took the ball and in the 76 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 宋皓思. 宋皓思 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 6-2. After 78 minutes, 徐帆海 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 陕西咸阳火龙联队 and the 广东梅州变色龙代表队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 78th minute, 徐帆海 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 宋皓思 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 朱霖宁, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 宋皓思 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 朱霖宁, who was totally free with the ball in the 85th minute. 邵南亦 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 93rd minute the ball was on its way in behind 广东梅州变色龙代表队's goalkeeper 梅瑜笑, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. For all the effort they put into the match, the 陕西咸阳火龙联队 players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for 广东梅州变色龙代表队.
