Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 孔洲延 started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by 孟鹏城 during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After having played for 11 minutes, 孔洲延 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 孔洲延 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 郑默崇 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. 史铮骏 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When 孔洲延 came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队 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 孔洲延 couldn't finish the play. A collision led to 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队 getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. 曾德震 hit a great ball. 郑默崇 blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 史铮骏 having to make a save. 史铮骏 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 郑默崇, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 方宽烽 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 孔洲延, who was totally free with the ball in the 33rd minute. In the 42nd minute 孔洲延 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 方宽烽 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 孔洲延 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队's 孔洲延 managed to work through 香港北区魔术联队's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. 孔洲延 dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 鲁青义 was the one to do the kick off. In the 56th minute, 鲁青义 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. If 郑默崇 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 韩希飞 hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by 孔洲延 in the 69th minute of play forced 香港北区魔术联队's goalkeeper 方宽烽 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With his leg 史铮骏 managed to avoid a goal in the 70thth minute, when 香港北区魔术联队's 郑默崇 fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers 郑默崇 in the 71st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg 史铮骏 saved 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队 from getting behind. If 郑默崇 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 75th minute 鲁青义 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 史铮骏 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 史铮骏 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 鲁青义 in the 83rd minute of play. 鲁青义 might have been able to make a better finish in the 90th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 史铮骏. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 鲁青义 ran back to his position shaking his head. The 河南信阳太阳神俱乐部队 supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching 香港北区魔术联队's performance. The match ended with a win for 香港北区魔术联队.
