Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when 马挺伟 took the kick off in the first half of the match. 汪川适 has a good long shot, which he once again showed in the 7th minute of the match. Unfortunately the ball hit the outside of the left post. 顾雄崇 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. 潘鹰川 tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when 秦棋骋 got free with 庄震荣 in the 14th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 尹卫延's late challenge caught a 宁夏固原犀牛队's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 尹卫延 helped the player get up and apologised. 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路's 庄震荣 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by 马挺伟 in the 16th minute of play. 潘鹰川 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 顾雄崇, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 19th minute, 马挺伟 left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The 宁夏固原犀牛队 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. If 叶斐棋 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 23 minutes, 苏银轩 mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路 and the 宁夏固原犀牛队 players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 23rd minute, 苏银轩 hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When 马挺伟 fell near the penalty area in the 28th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 宁夏固原犀牛队's protests and gave 马挺伟 a yellow card for diving instead. After 28 played minutes 宁夏固原犀牛队 got a freekick which was hit by 马挺伟. 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路's 庄震荣 proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 31st minute of the match, managed to save 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路 from getting a goal against them. An unexpectedly hard shot by 马挺伟 in the 33rd minute of play forced 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路's goalkeeper 庄震荣 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. An unexpected shot in the 34th minute by 叶斐棋 got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. 吴寒悦 succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-0 in the 35th playminute. 吴寒悦 kicked well hit freekick during the 44th minute of the match. If 顾雄崇 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When 马挺伟 came up free with the goalie in the 46th minute, the 宁夏固原犀牛队 fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that 马挺伟 couldn't finish the play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 庞辉松 was the one to do the kick off. After a rather tough play, 宁夏固原犀牛队's 叶斐棋 got a free kick in the 51st minute. 53 minutes into the match, 【№1】平凡的人平凡的路's goal looked a bit too open when 叶斐棋 came free, but 庄震荣 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
