Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) 杜思乐 made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 4th minute 杜笑迅 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 鲁挺潮 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 郑银国 was a little too slow when 杜思乐 got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 6th minute. The score was now 1-0. 10 minutes into the game, 蒋军强 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 甘肃平凉剑羚队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 山东日照麒麟联队 the free kick.

In the 19th minute, 庄朋振 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by 狄沙桑 in the 27th minute of play forced 甘肃平凉剑羚队's goalkeeper 郑银国 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 马钢剑's late challenge caught a 山东日照麒麟联队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 马钢剑 helped the player get up and apologised. After 28 played minutes 甘肃平凉剑羚队 got a freekick which was hit by 马钢剑. 39 minutes into the match, 杜笑迅 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 鲁挺潮. 山东日照麒麟联队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 杜笑迅 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. 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.

The wind increased when 杜笑迅 made the kick off in the second half. After 51 minutes of play, 山东日照麒麟联队's 狄沙桑 made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 郑银国 was left in no man's land by his defense there! The crowd rose to their feet as 杜笑迅 kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving 鲁挺潮. That made the score 3-2 in the 61 minute of play. 郝凌寒 charged in rather forcefully in the 64th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 郝凌寒 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 64 played minutes 山东日照麒麟联队 got a freekick which was hit by 郝凌寒. 杜笑迅 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. 鲁挺潮 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 71 minutes, 庄朋振 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 甘肃平凉剑羚队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 庄朋振 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 鲁挺潮 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 杜笑迅, who was totally free with the ball in the 73rd minute. 龚寒兴 was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 76th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. With an all-out effort, 甘肃平凉剑羚队's 鲁挺潮 threw himself towards the right post 80 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from 杜笑迅, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, 程庭夕 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 山东日照麒麟联队's supporters rose to their feet, but 程庭夕 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 郑银国 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 89 minutes into the match, 山东日照麒麟联队's goalkeeper 鲁挺潮 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 曲光正. 郑银国 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 程庭夕 in the 91st minute of play. 92 minutes into the game, 吴笑泉 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 甘肃平凉剑羚队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 山东日照麒麟联队 the free kick.
