With an all-out effort, 天津高远队's 蔡云强 threw himself towards the right post 7 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from 许峰, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 9 minutes had been played when some careless play by 青海西宁钢铁人代表队's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. 陈树剑 was slow to take the kick. During this time 天津高远队's players had a chance to rest.

In the 30th minute, 白桦真 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If 倪广风 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 陶远泉 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 倪广风 in the 33rd minute of the match. 陆潮珂 struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. 陶远泉 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.

53 minutes into the match, 青海西宁钢铁人代表队's goal looked a bit too open when 董亦骏 came free, but 蔡云强 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 许峰 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 蔡云强 having to interfere. 许峰 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. 蔡云强 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 罗剑川 kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. 董亦骏 struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. 蔡云强 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal.

After 64 played minutes, 青海西宁钢铁人代表队's 赵荣林 shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper 陶远泉 came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in 青海西宁钢铁人代表队 reached it. 陶远泉 made an important save on a dangerous shot by 鲁强永 in the 72nd minute. If 鲁强永 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 陶远泉 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 倪广风, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 94th minute, 鲁强永 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 青海西宁钢铁人代表队's supporters rose to their feet, but 鲁强永 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 陶远泉 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 95th minute, 倪广风 made a precise shot to the right of 陶远泉. 天津高远队's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. 青海西宁钢铁人代表队's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
