Spectators: 7698 (Terracing: 5775, Seating: 1770, VIP seats: 153) The mood of the audience was pleasant when 程德骋 made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by 张邦宁 in the 3rd minute of play forced 湖北荆州闸口队's goalkeeper 龙克卫 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s goalkeeper 严旭志, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If 张邦宁 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 12 minutes, 魏乐明 managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s supporters crossed their fingers, but 魏乐明 was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If 唐渊笑 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 27th minute, ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s 张邦宁 ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind 龙克卫. 龙克卫 yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. The supporters of ≮四川梦幻全兴≯ booed when 湖北荆州闸口队 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. 程德骋 didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that 张邦宁's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but 龙克卫 was relentless in the 32nd minute of the game. In the 33rd minute, 张邦宁 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 龙克卫 was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. 39 minutes into the match, 范坤坤 notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s 严旭志. 严旭志 was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 龙克卫 made an important save on a dangerous shot by 张邦宁 in the 43rd minute. A well-hit corner resulted in 沈松耀 heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 张邦宁 to make the kick off. 龙克卫 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 张邦宁 in the 51st minute of play. 龙克卫 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 张邦宁, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s zone, Erasmo Merchant stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. 严旭志 came out of the goal and Erasmo Merchant tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 54 played minutes ≮四川梦幻全兴≯ got a freekick which was hit by 倪真鹏. With a little luck, ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s 严旭志 got control of the ball when 严光海 tried to sneak it across the goal line. If 范坤坤 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 张邦宁 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 77 minutes into the match, ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s goal looked a bit too open when 程德骋 came free, but 严旭志 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 78th minute, 张邦宁 ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 龙克卫 was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. 张邦宁 took the ball and in the 88 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised 龙克卫. 龙克卫 dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-2. ≮四川梦幻全兴≯'s fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
