Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) 四川泸州爵士联队's 孔宁响 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. 冯克榕 charged in rather forcefully in the 5th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 冯克榕 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind 四川泸州爵士联队's goalkeeper 庄鸿钢, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If 狄潮梁 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 孔宁响 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 14 minutes into the match, 四川泸州爵士联队's goal looked a bit too open when 袁铮松 came free, but 庄鸿钢 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 33 minutes, 温坚桑 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 四川泸州爵士联队 and the 辽宁沈阳灰熊联队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. 吕悦磊 was out of position in the 39 minute of play, and 孔宁响 capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. 孔宁响 really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. 狄潮梁 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. 吕悦磊 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for 彭思弘 to strike the kick off in the second half. 庄鸿钢 was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but 卓青风 showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 61 minute of play. 卓青风's late challenge caught a 四川泸州爵士联队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 卓青风 helped the player get up and apologised.
