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. 谢坚川 started the match with the kick off. If 石林城 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 周辉夕's late challenge caught a 江苏南京蓝鸟联队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.

A wasted opportunity for 青海海东飞箭联队. In the 37th match minute, 江苏南京蓝鸟联队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 曲悦宽 to maneuver through the defense.
