Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 蒋烨鹏 made the kick off and thus started the match. After 5 minutes, 傅真岚 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队 and the 秦时明月汉时关 players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队's 傅真岚 got a free kick in the 6th minute. After having played for 8 minutes, 方钢南 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 秦时明月汉时关's supporters crossed their fingers, but 方钢南 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 13th minute, 龚海誉 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 梅永广 charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 梅永广 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队 getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. 梅永广 hit a great ball. 谢平邦 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 22nd minute, 蒋烨鹏 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 赵真夕 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 乔林榕, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 27th match minute, 秦时明月汉时关 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 蔡崇鹰 to maneuver through the defense. 方钢南 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 35th minute of the match, but 石国威 made a huge save. When 谢平邦 fell near the penalty area in the 37th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队's protests and gave 谢平邦 a yellow card for diving instead. In the 37th match minute, 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 谢平邦 to maneuver through the defense. 方钢南 scored 1-0 in the 38th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of 石国威, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a defensive mix-up in 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队's zone, 方钢南 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 石国威 came out of the goal and 方钢南 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

In the 51st minute, 方钢南 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 石国威 was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. 石国威 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 方钢南 in the 55th minute of the match. 乔林榕's late challenge caught a 秦时明月汉时关's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 乔林榕 helped the player get up and apologised. After 56 played minutes 湖北咸宁雄鹰代表队 got a freekick which was hit by 乔林榕. 蔡崇鹰 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 石国威 having to interfere. In the 76th minute 蔡崇鹰 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 石国威 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 蔡崇鹰 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. 石国威 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 方钢南 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 赵真夕 was a little too slow when 乔林榕 got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 85th minute. The score was now 2-1. 石国威 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 方钢南, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When 方钢南 came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the 秦时明月汉时关 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 方钢南 couldn't finish the play. 方钢南 struck a weak shot in the 96th minute. 石国威 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 秦时明月汉时关.
