Spectators: 7506 (Terracing: 5630, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Corneliu Druga kicked off to start the match. 龙银洲's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Marian Bălan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. 贵阳观山湖联队 were awarded a corner in the 7th minute after FC Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. 何真伟 took the corner. It was a well-played corner which 胡雄 managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Marian Bălan came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by 贵阳观山湖联队's 龙银洲. But to his dismay, 龙银洲 quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 姚斐洲 made an important save on a dangerous shot by Corneliu Druga in the 20th minute. Marian Bălan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 龙银洲 in the 23rd minute of play. In the 26th minute, 余崇博 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. 31 minutes into the game, 余崇博 cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Marian Bălan was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The 贵阳观山湖联队 fans' excitement grew in the 37th match minute when 贵阳观山湖联队's 龙银洲 looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Marian Bălan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of 龙银洲's shot from short distance in the 40th minute. In the 45thth minute of the game 龙银洲 who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt's Marian Bălan was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by 余崇博 in the 48th minute of play forced FC Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt's goalkeeper Marian Bălan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

The wind increased when 龙银洲 made the kick off in the second half. 龙银洲s short, quick shot in the 55thth minute got Marian Bălan to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Corneliu Druga recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, 姚希建 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 贵阳观山湖联队's supporters rose to their feet, but 姚希建 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Marian Bălan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When 余崇博 came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the 贵阳观山湖联队 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 余崇博 couldn't finish the play. After a defensive mix-up in FC Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt's zone, 肖飞广 stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Marian Bălan came out of the goal and 肖飞广 tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 贵阳观山湖联队's 龙银洲 was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 83rd play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. After 86 minutes of play, 贵阳观山湖联队's 龙银洲 made it 0-5 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Marian Bălan was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 89th minute, 龙银洲 fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Marian Bălan, passed just outside the right post. If 龙银洲 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 95th play minutes 龙银洲 shot 0-6, a short shot which went by Marian Bălan and just under the crossbar into goal.
