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. 郝荣扬 started the match with the kick off. 郝荣扬 charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 郝荣扬 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The audience thought a goal was coming when 唐迅骏 got free with 魏勇西 in the 7th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 湖南怀化剑侠联队's 尤星西 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 蒋竞翀 in the 11th minute of play. 姜正铮 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. 尤星西 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

After having played for 29 minutes, 蒋竞翀 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 蒋竞翀 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 30th minute, 张冰昂 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 唐迅骏 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 蒋竞翀 to make the kick off. 湖南怀化剑侠联队's 郝荣扬 got a good chance for a goal in the 55th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

An unexpectedly hard shot by 郝荣扬 in the 61st minute of play forced 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队's goalkeeper 魏勇西 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 魏勇西 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 郝荣扬, who was totally free with the ball in the 71st minute. When 蒋竞翀 came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队 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 蒋竞翀 couldn't finish the play. 姜正铮 struck a weak shot in the 82nd minute. 尤星西 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队. 蒋竞翀 might have been able to make a better finish in the 84th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 尤星西. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 蒋竞翀 ran back to his position shaking his head. 姜正铮 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. 尤星西 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If 蒋竞翀 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 94th minute 蒋竞翀 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 尤星西 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When 蒋竞翀 came up free with the goalie in the 97th minute, the 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队 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 蒋竞翀 couldn't finish the play. 湖南长沙火神俱乐部队 played a much better game than 湖南怀化剑侠联队 and deserved their victory. The 湖南怀化剑侠联队 players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
