福建福州奥林匹克体育中心
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 福建福州连江3C代表队's 毛林西 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. 12 minutes into the match, 贵州遵义慧星队's goal looked a bit too open when 毛林西 came free, but 姜阳梁 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If 毛林西 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 姜阳梁 was a little too slow when 蔡默伟 got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 16th minute. The score was now 2-1. 蔡默伟 could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 22nd minute of the match, but 姜阳梁 made a huge save. When 陶珂洋 came up free with the goalie in the 23rd minute, the 贵州遵义慧星队 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 陶珂洋 couldn't finish the play. In the 31st minute, 毛林西 got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 32nd minute, 蔡默伟 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 姜阳梁 was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. 尤希国 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 姜阳梁 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 毛林西 in the 44th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, 毛林西 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 福建福州连江3C代表队's supporters rose to their feet, but 毛林西 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 姜阳梁 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 卓伟竞's late challenge caught a 福建福州连江3C代表队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 卓伟竞 helped the player get up and apologised. 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 3-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 曲皓响 was the one to do the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when 陶珂洋 got free with 叶沙然 in the 60th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 63 minutes into the match, 陶珂洋 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 叶沙然. 福建福州连江3C代表队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 陶珂洋 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. If 曲皓响 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 85th match minute, 福建福州连江3C代表队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 蒋南阳 to maneuver through the defense. 楚明光 made a great header on 贵州遵义慧星队's corner, it was just that 福建福州连江3C代表队's 叶沙然 managed to reach the ball for a save. 陶珂洋 struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. 叶沙然 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 贵州遵义慧星队.
