Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 倪宽霖 was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but 孙超朋 showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 4 minute of play. 倪宽霖 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 孙超朋, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of 香港东区水牛代表队 booed when 新疆哈密流火队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. 韩竞亦 didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 11th minute, 孙超朋 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 新疆哈密流火队's 倪宽霖 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 孙超朋 in the 21st minute of play. If 孙超朋 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 28th minute 唐建昆 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 曾洋川 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When 楚浩明 came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the 香港东区水牛代表队 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 楚浩明 couldn't finish the play. After 33 minutes, 潘轩宽 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 新疆哈密流火队 and the 香港东区水牛代表队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. 楚浩明 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. 倪宽霖 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 倪宽霖 made a fantastic save in the 44th minute, when 楚浩明 sent off a good shot on target. An unexpectedly hard shot by 马皓耀 in the 47th minute of play forced 香港东区水牛代表队's goalkeeper 曾洋川 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 唐建昆 made a kick off. 尤军常's late challenge caught a 新疆哈密流火队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 尤军常 helped the player get up and apologised. In the 51st minute, 尤军常 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 54th minute, 马皓耀 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 曾洋川 was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. 曾洋川 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 唐建昆, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. In the 69th minute of the match, 马皓耀 got a very nice opportunity to score, but 曾洋川 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. 孙超朋 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 倪宽霖 having to interfere. In the 76th minute 孙超朋 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 倪宽霖 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 马皓耀 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 81 minutes, 唐建昆 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 新疆哈密流火队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 唐建昆 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Through an outstanding action, after 90 minutes, 曾洋川 successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After 90 minutes of play, 新疆哈密流火队's 唐建昆 made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 曾洋川 was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. 新疆哈密流火队 had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
