天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 齐广战 took the kick off in the first half of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by 潘朗棋 in the 5th minute of play forced 天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队's goalkeeper 曹文星 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 曾冰迪s short, quick shot in the 13thth minute got 曹岚义 to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 曹岚义 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 齐广战 in the 14th minute of the match. 广东增城金牛俱乐部队's 潘朗棋 got a good chance for a goal in the 16th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 齐广战 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. 曹岚义 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 曹岚义 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 齐广战, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of 天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队 booed when 广东增城金牛俱乐部队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. 于南梁 didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 23rd minute, 曾冰迪 fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. 齐广战 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 30 minutes of play, 广东增城金牛俱乐部队's 潘朗棋 made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 曹文星 was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a defensive mix-up in 广东增城金牛俱乐部队's zone, 庄正洋 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 曹岚义 came out of the goal and 庄正洋 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If 齐广战 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 45th match minute, 广东增城金牛俱乐部队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 于南梁 to maneuver through the defense. 顾斐骋 scored 0-2 in the 47th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of 曹文星, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 顾斐骋 made a kick off. 天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队's 曹文星 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 55th minute of the match, managed to save 天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队 from getting a goal against them. 齐广战 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. 曹岚义 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by 曾冰迪 in the 64th minute of play forced 广东增城金牛俱乐部队's goalkeeper 曹岚义 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When 龙斐树 fell near the penalty area in the 67th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 广东增城金牛俱乐部队's protests and gave 龙斐树 a yellow card for diving instead. 龙斐树 hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. If 曾冰迪 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 顾斐骋 received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. 曹文星 came out and tried to block the shot, but 顾斐骋 slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 72nd minute. When 于南梁 was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 83 minutes had been played. 90 minutes into the match, 天津和平区白头翁俱乐部队's goalkeeper 曹文星 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 顾斐骋. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. 广东增城金牛俱乐部队 had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
