上海宝山公羊队
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 曹延昆 started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 宋响烽 struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. 邓榕益 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 香港湾仔区神舟联队. 宋响烽 might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 邓榕益. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 宋响烽 ran back to his position shaking his head. 姜光勇 scored 0-1 in the 17th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of 邓榕益, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 21 minutes, 曹延昆 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生 and the 香港湾仔区神舟联队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 21 played minutes ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生 got a freekick which was hit by 曹延昆. In the 22nd minute 曹延昆 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 顾克朋 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生 defense, 宋响烽 kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 邓榕益. The ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 邓榕益 should have stopped the shot. If 宋响烽 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 41 minutes, 宋响烽 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 香港湾仔区神舟联队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 宋响烽 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 邵彬皓's late challenge caught a ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 邵彬皓 helped the player get up and apologised.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 宋响烽 to make the kick off. 崔响辉 took the ball and in the 51 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 顾克朋. 顾克朋 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. 57 minutes into the game, 傅超远 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 香港湾仔区神舟联队 the free kick. 香港湾仔区神舟联队's 姜光勇 managed to work through ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. 姜光勇 dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. In the 61stth minute of the game 宋响烽 who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's 邓榕益 was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 崔响辉 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. 顾克朋 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 64 minutes, 曹延昆 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's supporters crossed their fingers, but 曹延昆 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 67th minute 崔响辉 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 顾克朋 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 顾克朋 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 曹延昆 in the 69th minute of the match. 姜光勇 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. 邓榕益 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 崔响辉 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 崔响辉 scored 2-2 in the 75th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of 顾克朋, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 83 minutes into the match, ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生's goalkeeper 邓榕益 had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by 姜光勇. In the 84th minute, 胡扬浩 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, 宋响烽 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 香港湾仔区神舟联队's supporters rose to their feet, but 宋响烽 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 邓榕益 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 姜光勇 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 邓榕益 having to interfere. 90 minutes into the match, 曹延昆 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 顾克朋. 香港湾仔区神舟联队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 曹延昆 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. Many of 香港湾仔区神舟联队's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. 香港湾仔区神舟联队 may have spent more time on the ball, but ★『红魔』曼联★风流小生 were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
