四川乐山城堡代表队
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. 于远益 started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind 四川乐山城堡代表队's goalkeeper 陶兴志, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 于远益 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. 陶兴志 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 10th minute 于远益 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 陶兴志 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 陶兴志 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 石翔寒, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. 15 minutes into the match, 湖北孝感怪鸟队's goal looked a bit too open when 任磊彬 came free, but 沈云卫 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 狄皓潮 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. 沈云卫 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 四川乐山城堡代表队's 陶兴志 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 杜镇耀 in the 21st minute of play. 杜镇耀 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. 陶兴志 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 24th minute, 杜镇耀 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. 狄皓潮 was extremely unlucky when he, in the 29th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If 石翔寒 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 36th minute, 狄皓潮 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. 四川乐山城堡代表队's 曹飞银 shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 38th minute of play. The shot was stopped by 沈云卫 but with some difficulty. 陶兴志 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 于远益, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 44th minute of the match, 狄皓潮 got a very nice opportunity to score, but 沈云卫 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When 谢钢勇 fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 四川乐山城堡代表队's protests and gave 谢钢勇 a yellow card for diving instead. 于远益 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. 陶兴志 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If 朱枫义 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 64 minutes, 杜镇耀 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 湖北孝感怪鸟队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 杜镇耀 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 于远益 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 陶兴志 having to interfere. 狄皓潮 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 沈云卫 having to interfere. 于远益 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.
