A hard shot by 何斐凡 from long distance, 20 minutes into the match, got 陆军庭's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. An unexpectedly hard shot by 楚博凌 in the 23rd minute of play forced 香港东区火山队's goalkeeper 陆军庭 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If 任扬梁 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When 狄奕战 fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 香港东区火山队's protests and gave 狄奕战 a yellow card for diving instead. 狄奕战 kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. 27 minutes into the match, 香港东区火山队's goal looked a bit too open when 冯震朋 came free, but 陆军庭 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
