Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 孟康森 took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 10th minute, 胡亮洋 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 刘远轩 kicked well hit freekick during the 12th minute of the match. 韩榕桦 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 孟康森, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 26 minutes had been played when some careless play by 河北邯郸巨龙联队's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. 江斌卫 was slow to take the kick. During this time 云南昭通青龙联队's players had a chance to rest. 巩庭震 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 刘远轩, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of 河北邯郸巨龙联队 booed when 云南昭通青龙联队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. 巩国朗 didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 36 minutes, 刘远轩 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 河北邯郸巨龙联队's supporters crossed their fingers, but 刘远轩 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 42nd minute of the match, 曲义迪 got a very nice opportunity to score, but 韩榕桦 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 刘远轩 to make the kick off. 韩榕桦 showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 曲义迪 in the 55th minute of the match. 64 minutes into the game, 朱超迅 was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. 河北邯郸巨龙联队's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 云南昭通青龙联队 the free kick. 朱超迅 hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. 孟康森's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 韩榕桦 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 71st minute of play. 刘远轩 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 巩庭震 having to interfere. When 乔森坚 fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 云南昭通青龙联队's protests and gave 乔森坚 a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, 云南昭通青龙联队's 乔森坚 got a free kick in the 77th minute. In the 79th minute 朱超迅 managed to get in a great position but fired away a sharp shot that went outside the goal on the goalie's right hand side. It could just as well have been a goal. 刘远轩 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 毛磊德 kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. 刘远轩 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 巩庭震 having to interfere. 韩榕桦 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 曲义迪, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If 孟康森 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
