Spectators: 7511 (Terracing: 5634, Seating: 1727, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when 唐桦荣 made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 6th minute, Kenny Cardwell managed to get in a good position for a shot. AC DeMiRHaN's supporters rose to their feet, but Kenny Cardwell was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. 齐飞平 breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 9th minute 袁坚誉 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Leland Traylor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When 朱潮雄 fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 上海杨浦联队's protests and gave 朱潮雄 a yellow card for diving instead. In the 16th match minute, 上海杨浦联队 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 朱潮雄 to maneuver through the defense. Zackary Sullivan struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. 齐飞平 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AC DeMiRHaN. 齐飞平 was a little too slow when Zackary Sullivan got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 22nd minute. The score was now 1-0. 36 minutes into the match, AC DeMiRHaN's goal looked a bit too open when 赵宇瑜 came free, but Leland Traylor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 曾明雄 hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. Leland Traylor showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 唐桦荣, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by 袁坚誉 in the 46th minute of play forced AC DeMiRHaN's goalkeeper Leland Traylor to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-1.

The wind increased when Mervin Floyd made the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, AC DeMiRHaN's Kurtis Villanueva got a free kick in the 55th minute. 75 minutes into the game, Zackary Battle was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. AC DeMiRHaN's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 上海杨浦联队 the free kick. Zackary Battle kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. Leland Traylor showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 唐桦荣 in the 83rd minute of the match. In the 92nd minute, Mervin Floyd ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. 齐飞平 was frozen by the shot and now it was 4-3. For all the effort they put into the match, the 上海杨浦联队 players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for AC DeMiRHaN.
