The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 陆烨适 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 鲁泉平 took the ball and in the 53 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 陈杰夕. 陈杰夕 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2.
