Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 许旭志 took the kick off in the first half of the match. 郭光榕 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 19th minute, 武轩晨 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 广东广州巨蟹联队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 史洋迪 was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from 范锋卫. 广东广州巨蟹联队's 史洋迪 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 许旭志 in the 25th minute of play. 郭光榕 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 29th minute of the match, but 史洋迪 made a huge save. 郭光榕 came free with the goalkeeper in the 32nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and 史洋迪 could save by the left post. 35 minutes into the game, 杜义凡 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 河南周口西城队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 广东广州巨蟹联队 the free kick. 杜义凡 kicked well hit freekick during the 35th minute of the match. After 37 minutes, 朱昂彬 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 河南周口西城队 and the 广东广州巨蟹联队 players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 武轩晨 to make the kick off. 郭光榕 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When 曹战昆 fell near the penalty area in the 58th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 广东广州巨蟹联队's protests and gave 曹战昆 a yellow card for diving instead. In the 58th minute, 曹战昆 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If 郭光榕 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 70 minutes into the game, 毛斌笑 cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. 庞天洲 was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 73rd minute, 陆昆文 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 许旭志 might have been able to make a better finish in the 81st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 史洋迪. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 许旭志 ran back to his position shaking his head. 史洋迪 stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of 郭光榕's shot from short distance in the 82nd minute. 88 minutes into the match, 河南周口西城队's goalkeeper 庞天洲 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 毛斌笑. In the 90th match minute, 河南周口西城队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 杜义凡 to maneuver through the defense. 龙瑜雄, 91 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. 石延烨 kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. The supporters of 河南周口西城队 booed when 广东广州巨蟹联队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. 石翀榕 didn't get a good kick on the ball. 许旭志 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.
