League Play-Off

香港深水埗区森林狼队
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. 马沙希 started the match with the kick off. 杜珂宁's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 吴德棋 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 3rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by 马沙希 in the 7th minute of play forced 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's goalkeeper 柯冰远 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 25 minutes into the game, 邱政青 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 香港深水埗区森林狼队 the free kick. In the 29th minute 方迪国 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 吴德棋 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 31st minute, 杜珂宁 made a precise shot to the right of 吴德棋. 香港深水埗区森林狼队's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. 34 minutes into the match, 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's goalkeeper 柯冰远 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 蔡竞森. The audience was convinced that 杜珂宁's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 吴德棋 was relentless in the 36th minute of the game. 蔡竞森 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 方迪国 hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. 蔡竞森 blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 柯冰远 having to make a save. 香港深水埗区森林狼队's 蔡竞森 got a good chance for a goal in the 45th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for 邱政青 to strike the kick off in the second half. 马桦森 took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 55th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for 柯冰远. 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 香港深水埗区森林狼队's defense didn't have a chance, in the 65th minute, when 邱政青 scored to the left of an out of position 吴德棋, making the score, 1-3. 杜珂宁's late challenge caught a 香港深水埗区森林狼队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 杜珂宁 helped the player get up and apologised. After 69 played minutes 香港离岛区老鹰代表队 got a freekick which was hit by 杜珂宁. If 马沙希 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 吴德棋 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 邱政青, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The crowd rose to their feet as 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's 邱政青 slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of 吴德棋. That made the score 1-4 after 78 minutes of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, 杜珂宁 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 香港离岛区老鹰代表队's supporters rose to their feet, but 杜珂宁 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 吴德棋 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 86 minutes, 赵鹏 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 香港离岛区老鹰代表队 and the 香港深水埗区森林狼队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. 赵鹏 kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. If 邱政青 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. 香港离岛区老鹰代表队 had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
