Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) With a couple of smart ball manuevers 王兴强 in the 4th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg 龚瑜军 saved 河南平顶山探索者俱乐部队 from getting behind. In the 4th minute, 毛城升 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 方振克 struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. 龚瑜军 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 广东湛江火鸟联队. 广东湛江火鸟联队's 徐永浩 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 24th minute of the match, managed to save 广东湛江火鸟联队 from getting a goal against them. When 毛城升 fell near the penalty area in the 25th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 河南平顶山探索者俱乐部队's protests and gave 毛城升 a yellow card for diving instead. If 徐希伟 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of 河南平顶山探索者俱乐部队 booed when 广东湛江火鸟联队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. 狄震傲 didn't get a good kick on the ball.

After a defensive mix-up in 河南平顶山探索者俱乐部队's zone, 方振克 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 龚瑜军 came out of the goal and 方振克 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 俞适翀 to make the kick off. 徐永浩 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 俞适翀 in the 68th minute of play. 徐希伟 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 徐永浩 having to interfere. 王兴强 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. 龚瑜军 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 75th minute 王兴强 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 龚瑜军 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 80th minute, 俞适翀 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 河南平顶山探索者俱乐部队's supporters rose to their feet, but 俞适翀 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 徐永浩 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 82 minutes, 狄震傲 mouthed his way into the referee's book.

The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
