Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 马卫城 started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 8 minutes, 石宁扬 made it 2-0 with a short kick to the right side. 辽宁朝阳皇家联队's 楚益适 tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In a very dangerous position, a player in 北京东城区修罗队 fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 12th minute. Penalty! In the 19th minute of the match 余霆彬 shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but 庄光默 showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 21st minute 贺斌梁 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 庄光默 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 22nd minute, 麦扬俊 got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 北京东城区修罗队's 庄光默 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 贺斌梁 in the 25th minute of play. In the 27th minute, 北京东城区修罗队's 武雄升 seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed 武雄升 the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of 北京东城区修罗队 protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and 武雄升 had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 34th match minute, 辽宁朝阳皇家联队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 程挺桦 to maneuver through the defense. 楚益适 made a fantastic save in the 35th minute, when 石宁扬 sent off a good shot on target. 庄光默 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 麦扬俊, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. In the 39th minute, 高枫源 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 41st minute 龙正延 managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 麦扬俊 to make the kick off. After 53 minutes of play, 北京东城区修罗队's 石宁扬 made it 3-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 楚益适 was left in no man's land by his defense there! 麦扬俊 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 庄光默 having to interfere. 65 minutes into the match, 辽宁朝阳皇家联队's goal looked a bit too open when 石宁扬 came free, but 楚益适 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 67th match minute, 北京东城区修罗队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 曹益德 to maneuver through the defense. 庄光默 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 麦扬俊, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 北京东城区修罗队's 曹益德 got a good chance for a goal in the 80th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 84th match minute, 辽宁朝阳皇家联队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 魏钢 to maneuver through the defense. If 石宁扬 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 87 minutes into the match, 辽宁朝阳皇家联队's 贺斌梁 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 庄光默 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 庄光默 made an important save on a dangerous shot by 贺斌梁 in the 90th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when 贺斌梁 got free with 庄光默 in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If 石宁扬 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 马卫城 kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. 贺斌梁 struck a weak shot in the 98th minute. 庄光默 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 辽宁朝阳皇家联队. 辽宁朝阳皇家联队's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
