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. 江岩默 started the match with the kick off. 庞泉锋 charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 庞泉锋 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, ≮China≯吴法无天's 庞泉锋 got a free kick in the 5th minute. 余洋霖, 9 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal.

The audience was convinced that 庞泉锋's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 董光耀 was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 28th minute, 孟帆宁 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 广东东莞市枫叶队's supporters rose to their feet, but 孟帆宁 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Niels-Jan Zuiverloon breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 31st play minute 孟帆宁 came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Niels-Jan Zuiverloon. 1-1. 广东东莞市枫叶队 were awarded a corner in the 36th minute after ≮China≯吴法无天's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. 邵军寒 took the corner. After taking down the ball on 广东东莞市枫叶队's corner 邵军寒 fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Niels-Jan Zuiverloon quite easily take care of the ball. 39 minutes into the game, 蔡烨斐 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 广东东莞市枫叶队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ≮China≯吴法无天 the free kick. In the 39th match minute, 广东东莞市枫叶队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 蔡烨斐 to maneuver through the defense. 广东东莞市枫叶队's 康寒笑 shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 44th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Niels-Jan Zuiverloon but with some difficulty. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 庞泉锋 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The audience was convinced that 孟帆宁's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Niels-Jan Zuiverloon was relentless in the 56th minute of the game. 孟帆宁 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Niels-Jan Zuiverloon tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 62 minutes into the match, ≮China≯吴法无天's goal looked a bit too open when 孟帆宁 came free, but Niels-Jan Zuiverloon reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 董光耀 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 庞泉锋, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. 庞泉锋 struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. 董光耀 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ≮China≯吴法无天. 余震剑 kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. If 孟帆宁 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Niels-Jan Zuiverloon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 江岩默, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The crowd rose to their feet as 庞泉锋 kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving 董光耀. That made the score 1-2 in the 88 minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in 广东东莞市枫叶队's zone, 庞泉锋 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 董光耀 came out of the goal and 庞泉锋 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
