Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 江苏南京开拓者俱乐部队's 潘翔凡 started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 胡泉震 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 宋风镇 having to interfere. If 潘翔凡 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When 胡泉震 came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the 江苏南京开拓者俱乐部队 fans jumped to their feet.

The audience was convinced that 何昂升's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 沈岚云 was relentless in the 37th minute of the game. 山东临沂蝎虎队's 宋风镇 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 38th minute of the match, managed to save 山东临沂蝎虎队 from getting a goal against them. When 庄挺峰 fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 山东临沂蝎虎队's protests and gave 庄挺峰 a yellow card for diving instead. After 39 played minutes 山东临沂蝎虎队 got a freekick which was hit by 庄挺峰. 胡泉震 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 42nd minute of the match, but 宋风镇 made a huge save. 庄挺峰 got his second yellow card in the match during the 42nd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After a rather tough play, 山东临沂蝎虎队's 庄挺峰 got a free kick in the 44th minute. 47 minutes had been played when some careless play by 山东临沂蝎虎队's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. 李西文 was slow to take the kick. During this time 江苏南京开拓者俱乐部队's players had a chance to rest. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The audience thought a goal was coming when 倪升浩 got free with 沈岚云 in the 54th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a defensive mix-up in 江苏南京开拓者俱乐部队's zone, 孟真珂 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 沈岚云 came out of the goal and 孟真珂 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of 江苏南京开拓者俱乐部队 booed when 山东临沂蝎虎队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 62 match minutes in a wonderful position. 孟真珂 didn't get a good kick on the ball. If 倪升浩 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
