League Play-Off

安徽淮南秋刀鱼队
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. 范博超 started the match with the kick off. 龚阳桑 made an important save on a dangerous shot by 黄康风 in the 3rd minute. 庞天真's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 余棋战 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 6th minute of play. 广西崇左11人俱乐部队's 李威浩 managed to work through 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. 李威浩 dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. A collision led to 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队 getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. 郝瑜寒 hit a great ball. 余棋战 didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from 李威浩 went, in the 12th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. 洪棋悦 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 18th minute, 宋军正 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 19 played minutes, 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's 郝瑜寒 shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper 龚阳桑 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 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队 reached it. 范博超 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 龚阳桑 having to interfere. 25 minutes into the game, 郭天斌 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 广西崇左11人俱乐部队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队 the free kick. After 24 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for 广西崇左11人俱乐部队! After a rather tough play, 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's 楚磊骏 got a free kick in the 28th minute. 庄政西 took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 29th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for 余棋战. 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 37 minutes into the match, 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's goal looked a bit too open when 洪棋悦 came free, but 余棋战 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 龚阳桑 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 范博超 in the 41st minute of the match. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 李威浩 to make the kick off. 李威浩 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. 余棋战 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 60th minute, 庞天真 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 蔡昆剑 kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. When the match clock showed 68 minutes, the score became 1-1 when 范博超 sped through 广西崇左11人俱乐部队's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of 龚阳桑. If 洪棋悦 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 龚阳桑 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 黄康风, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that 李威浩's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 余棋战 was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's 余棋战 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 李威浩 in the 85th minute of play. If 宋军正 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 95th minute, 黄康风 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 安徽淮南秋刀鱼队's supporters rose to their feet, but 黄康风 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 龚阳桑 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 广西崇左11人俱乐部队's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
