League Play-Off

狮城足球场
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 西藏拉萨城堡队's 康泉斌 started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 3 minutes into the match, 顾骏奕 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 杜洲浩. 狮城足球俱乐部's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 顾骏奕 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. If 蒋挺克 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If 雷森俊 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 雷森俊 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When 顾骏奕 came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the 西藏拉萨城堡队 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that 顾骏奕 couldn't finish the play. 潘思瑜 kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. In the 25th minute, 康泉斌 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 杜洲浩 was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. 顾骏奕 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. 杜洲浩 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 狮城足球俱乐部's 杜洲浩 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 康泉斌 in the 29th minute of play. In a very dangerous position, a player in 狮城足球俱乐部 fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 32nd minute. Penalty! 34 minutes into the game, 西藏拉萨城堡队's 姚树适 nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. 杜洲浩 made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-3. In the 37th minute, 赵强迅 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 西藏拉萨城堡队's 顾骏奕 got a good chance for a goal in the 44th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If 顾骏奕 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 蒋挺克 made a kick off. After a rather tough play, 狮城足球俱乐部's 梅铮景 got a free kick in the 53rd minute. 顾骏奕 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 杜洲浩 having to interfere. 潘思瑜 might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 温升克. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 潘思瑜 ran back to his position shaking his head. When 杜志威 fell near the penalty area in the 69th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 狮城足球俱乐部's protests and gave 杜志威 a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of 西藏拉萨城堡队 booed when 狮城足球俱乐部 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. 杜志威 didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers 康泉斌 in the 75th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg 杜洲浩 saved 狮城足球俱乐部 from getting behind. In the 76th match minute, 狮城足球俱乐部 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 潘思瑜 to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in 狮城足球俱乐部's zone, 顾骏奕 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 杜洲浩 came out of the goal and 顾骏奕 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 86 minutes, 顾骏奕 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 西藏拉萨城堡队 and the 狮城足球俱乐部 players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 86th minute, 顾骏奕 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 杜洲浩 made a fantastic save in the 91st minute, when 康泉斌 sent off a good shot on target. When the match was over 西藏拉萨城堡队 could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than 狮城足球俱乐部 throughout the match.
