League Play-Off

湖北武汉蓝鸟队
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. 沈思斐 started the match with the kick off. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by 高希风 during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to 湖北武汉蓝鸟队 getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. 高希风 hit a great ball. In the 13th match minute, 天津蓟县枫叶队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 徐凌斐 to maneuver through the defense. After 14 played minutes, 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's 史锋瑜 shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper 梅斌骋 came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in 湖北武汉蓝鸟队 reached it. 梅斌骋 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 罗国骏, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by 沈思斐 in the 18th minute of play forced 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's goalkeeper 许川谦 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 罗国骏 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 梅斌骋 having to interfere. 于阳响's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 梅斌骋 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 30th minute of play. 于阳响's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but 梅斌骋 firmly grabbed it by the left post. 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's 高希风 got his second yellow card of the match in the 32nd minute. The referee ordered 高希风 off the ground. The supporters of 天津蓟县枫叶队 booed when 湖北武汉蓝鸟队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 33 match minutes in a wonderful position. 高希风 didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in 天津蓟县枫叶队's zone, 贺风南 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 梅斌骋 came out of the goal and 贺风南 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 天津蓟县枫叶队's 梅斌骋 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save 天津蓟县枫叶队 from getting a goal against them. 于阳响 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, 贺风南 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's supporters rose to their feet, but 贺风南 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 梅斌骋 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 于阳响 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 梅斌骋 having to interfere. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 于阳响 to make the kick off. 贺风南 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 梅斌骋 having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 54th minute, 于阳响 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's supporters rose to their feet, but 于阳响 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 梅斌骋 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 55 minutes into the match, 湖北武汉蓝鸟队's 于阳响 sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that 梅斌骋 narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 徐凌斐 kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. In the 57th minute, 姜迪诚 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 于阳响 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 61st minute. 梅斌骋 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 史锋瑜 kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. 徐凌斐 charged in rather forcefully in the 80th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 徐凌斐 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, 天津蓟县枫叶队's 徐凌斐 got a free kick in the 80th minute. In the 82nd match minute, 天津蓟县枫叶队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 余皓笑 to maneuver through the defense. 梅斌骋 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 于阳响 in the 83rd minute of play.
