Spectators: 184 (Terracing: 139, Seating: 42, VIP seats: 3) Enock Fortuin struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Dacian Cârju didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Johannesburg. Dane Kruger charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Dane Kruger the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Dane Kruger kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. In the 6th minute, Rob Sephiri 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. After a defensive mix-up in ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's zone, Rob Sephiri stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dacian Cârju came out of the goal and Rob Sephiri tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Árpád Mészáros made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 雷然博 in the 11th minute of play. Árpád Mészáros showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zeki İncel, who was totally free with the ball in the 13th minute. ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's Filiberto Tolino was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Árpád Mészáros in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. If Rob Sephiri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 25 minutes into the match, FC Johannesburg's goal looked a bit too open when Arsi Eronen came free, but Árpád Mészáros reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 32 minutes had been played when some careless play by ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Rob Sephiri was slow to take the kick. During this time FC Johannesburg's players had a chance to rest. In the 35th minute Arsi Eronen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Árpád Mészáros saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 37th minute, Dane Kruger hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Arsi Eronen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Árpád Mészáros was relentless in the 38th minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 40th minute, Arsi Eronen managed to get in a good position for a shot. ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's supporters rose to their feet, but Arsi Eronen was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Árpád Mészáros breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's 李永乐 Marco was substituted for 李战远. In the 53rd minute, Arsi Eronen 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. 朱强风's late challenge caught a FC Johannesburg's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 朱强风 helped the player get up and apologised. After 59 played minutes ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の got a freekick which was hit by 朱强风. FC Johannesburg's Zane Blumenthal was substituted for Dane Kruger. In the 60th match minute, ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 朱强风 to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rob Sephiri in the 63rd minute of play forced ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's goalkeeper Dacian Cârju to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Árpád Mészáros showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arsi Eronen in the 67th minute of the match. ≮王者归来≯の足球流民の's Dacian Cârju played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Silas Collins in the 74th minute of play. 雷然博 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. Árpád Mészáros tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The crowd rose to their feet as Zeki İncel kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Árpád Mészáros. That made the score 0-1 in the 91 minute of play. FC Johannesburg made a substitution. Brandon Liau replaced Godfrey Pretorius.
