Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when 魏枫斐 made the kick off which started today's match. If 谢义战 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 11 minutes of play, 江西鹰潭巨蟒队's 谢义战 made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 莫扬光 was left in no man's land by his defense there! When 孟川峰 fell near the penalty area in the 23rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 江西鹰潭巨蟒队's protests and gave 孟川峰 a yellow card for diving instead. 孟川峰 hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. In the 24th minute 魏枫斐 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 黄桦兴 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 黄桦兴 stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of 魏枫斐's shot from short distance in the 31st minute. In the 34th minute, 钱冰辉 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 河南新乡十字军联队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. 39 minutes into the match, 江西鹰潭巨蟒队's goal looked a bit too open when 魏枫斐 came free, but 黄桦兴 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 40 minutes, 杜卫庭 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 江西鹰潭巨蟒队 and the 河南新乡十字军联队 players grew even worse after the yellow card.
