上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 韩源康 started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute 韩源康 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 陈升真 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When 程希诚 fell near the penalty area in the 10th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's protests and gave 程希诚 a yellow card for diving instead. 程希诚 kicked well hit freekick during the 11th minute of the match. After having played for 11 minutes, 韩源康 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 北京朝阳区亡灵队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 韩源康 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's 陈升真 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 叶桑坚 in the 13th minute of play. 陈升真 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 叶桑坚 in the 15th minute of the match. 20 minutes into the match, 北京朝阳区亡灵队's goalkeeper 韩正扬 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 曾斐松. If 曾斐松 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 陶青超 hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 韩正扬 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 孟建益, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 29 minutes into the match, 韩源康 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 陈升真. 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 韩源康 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 33 minutes, 尤亦志 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队 and the 北京朝阳区亡灵队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. When 孟建益 came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队 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 孟建益 couldn't finish the play. In the 43rd minute 孟建益 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 韩正扬 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 叶桑坚 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. 陈升真 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

In the 55th minute 孟建益 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 韩正扬 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's zone, 叶桑坚 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 陈升真 came out of the goal and 叶桑坚 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 程晨超's late challenge caught a 北京朝阳区亡灵队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 程晨超 helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of 北京朝阳区亡灵队 booed when 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 57 match minutes in a wonderful position. 程晨超 didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 65th match minute, 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 陆昆榕 to maneuver through the defense. 68 minutes into the match, 北京朝阳区亡灵队's 叶桑坚 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 陈升真 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. With a little luck, 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's 陈升真 got control of the ball when 叶桑坚 tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 81 minutes 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was 高枫竞 who took care of the corner kick. After having played for 92 minutes, 孟建益 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 上海杨浦雄鹿俱乐部队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 孟建益 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
