Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 河南郑州飞鱼队's 卓峰翔 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. 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队's 龙超昂 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 卓峰翔 in the 3rd minute of play. 龙超昂 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 魏雄义, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When 潘诚潮 came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that 潘诚潮 couldn't finish the play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by 陈明夕 during the 16th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. 陈明夕 hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. The supporters of 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队 booed when 河南郑州飞鱼队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. 乔朋乐 didn't get a good kick on the ball. The 河南郑州飞鱼队 fans' excitement grew in the 20th match minute when 河南郑州飞鱼队's 魏雄义 looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After a defensive mix-up in 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队's zone, 王悦泉 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 龙超昂 came out of the goal and 王悦泉 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 27 played minutes 河南郑州飞鱼队 got a freekick which was hit by 魏雄义. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, 潘诚潮 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队's supporters rose to their feet, but 潘诚潮 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 高鸿庭 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 卓峰翔 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 32nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 38 minutes into the match, 卓峰翔 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 龙超昂. 江苏淮安野人俱乐部队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 卓峰翔 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. If 魏雄义 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half 河南郑州飞鱼队 were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

If 潘诚潮 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
