Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when 陶烨星 made the kick off which started today's match. 徐德桑 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 曹川强 having to interfere.

After a rather tough play, 安徽淮北慧星联队's 庞昆响 got a free kick in the 13th minute. 19 minutes into the match, 湖北武汉火神队's 方常轩 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 曲诚森 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 曲诚森 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 陶烨星 in the 21st minute of play. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind 湖北武汉火神队's goalkeeper 曹川强, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 28 minutes in the game, 陶烨星 fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without 曲诚森 having to interfere. 42 minutes into the match, 湖北武汉火神队's goal looked a bit too open when 邓迅思 came free, but 曹川强 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 44 minutes into the match, 方常轩 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 曲诚森. 安徽淮北慧星联队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 方常轩 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for 邓迅思 to strike the kick off in the second half. After having played for 52 minutes, 徐德桑 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 安徽淮北慧星联队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 徐德桑 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If 徐德桑 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling 徐德桑 in the 57th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck 曹川强 prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, 安徽淮北慧星联队's 庞昆响 got a free kick in the 61st minute. In the 62nd minute, 魏坚振 sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and 安徽淮北慧星联队's 曲诚森 didn't even have to move. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, 陶烨星 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 湖北武汉火神队's supporters rose to their feet, but 陶烨星 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 曲诚森 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When 徐德桑 came up free with the goalie in the 67th minute, the 安徽淮北慧星联队 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 徐德桑 couldn't finish the play. In the 78th minute, 庞昆响 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 方常轩's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 曲诚森 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 80th minute of play. An unexpected shot in the 82nd minute by 徐德桑 got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. In the 87th minute, 邓旭景 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 91st minute, 陶烨星 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 湖北武汉火神队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. 方康笑 took the ball and in the 95 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 曹川强. 曹川强 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. 湖北武汉火神队's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
