香港离岛区双城队
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) In the 6th minute 狄潮桑 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 毛冰延 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 7 minutes into the match, 钱崇峰 had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of 毛冰延. 香港离岛区双城队's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that 钱崇峰 was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 14th minute, 钱崇峰 made a precise shot to the right of 毛冰延. 香港离岛区双城队's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind 香港离岛区双城队's goalkeeper 毛冰延, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 25th minute, 肖斐兴 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. 28 minutes into the match, 温鸿磊 dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of 尹振奕, 1-2. 钱崇峰 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of 天津河北区特洛伊队 booed when 香港离岛区双城队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. 曾海昆 didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 37th minute 狄潮桑 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but 毛冰延 saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in 香港离岛区双城队's zone, 狄潮桑 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 毛冰延 came out of the goal and 狄潮桑 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 肖斐兴 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. 尹振奕 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 温鸿磊 was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 45th minute. 香港离岛区双城队's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 尹振奕 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 温鸿磊 in the 47th minute of play. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and 狄潮桑 made a kick off. 毛冰延 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 狄潮桑, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 钱崇峰 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 毛冰延 having to interfere. 温鸿磊 might have been able to make a better finish in the 64th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 尹振奕. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 温鸿磊 ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, 香港离岛区双城队's 倪政适 got a free kick in the 65th minute. In the 67th minute, 李凌弘 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If 钱崇峰 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 钱崇峰 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 毛冰延 having to interfere. When the match was over 天津河北区特洛伊队 could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than 香港离岛区双城队 throughout the match.
