山东枣庄猛虎队
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 魏德竞 took the kick off in the first half of the match. After having played for 3 minutes, 林源杰 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 山东枣庄猛虎队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 林源杰 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 4 minutes into the match, 西藏阿里步行者联队's goal looked a bit too open when 秦磊凡 came free, but 尤义兴 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 尤义兴 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 秦磊凡 in the 6th minute of play. 9 minutes into the match, 曹正坚 notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of 山东枣庄猛虎队's 姚云伟. 姚云伟 was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 秦磊凡's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 尤义兴 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 14th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in 山东枣庄猛虎队's zone, 曹正坚 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 姚云伟 came out of the goal and 曹正坚 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 蔡飞振's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 27thth minute, 尤义兴 skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. If 秦磊凡 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by 秦磊凡 in the 32nd minute of play forced 西藏阿里步行者联队's goalkeeper 尤义兴 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 魏德竞 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. 姚云伟 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers 魏德竞 in the 39th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg 姚云伟 saved 山东枣庄猛虎队 from getting behind. 39 minutes into the game, 巩镇川 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 山东枣庄猛虎队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 西藏阿里步行者联队 the free kick. 巩镇川 kicked well hit freekick during the 40th minute of the match. 曹正坚 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 秦磊凡 was the one to do the kick off. 齐耀明 charged in rather forcefully in the 56th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 齐耀明 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 60 minutes into the game, 西藏阿里步行者联队's 曹正坚 nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. 姚云伟 made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. 姚云伟 stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of 魏德竞's shot from short distance in the 64th minute. 姚云伟 was a little too slow when 齐耀明 got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 67th minute. The score was now 0-4. 龚翀荣 hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match. 曹正坚 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. 姚云伟 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 姚云伟 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 魏德竞, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. 蔡飞振 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 尤义兴 having to interfere. 尤义兴 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 林源杰 in the 85th minute of the match.

A very good chance. In the 90th minute, 曹正坚 got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 山东枣庄猛虎队's 姚云伟 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 魏德竞 in the 93rd minute of play. The 西藏阿里步行者联队 supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing 西藏阿里步行者联队 would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
