Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Valentin Urdăreanu took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, FC GURZUN's Marcu Cretan got a free kick in the 6th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, 柯卫枫 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 上海绿地申花足球俱乐部's supporters rose to their feet, but 柯卫枫 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Cătălin Dăianu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by 柯卫枫 in the 15th minute of play forced FC GURZUN's goalkeeper Cătălin Dăianu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cătălin Dăianu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 龚正朗, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Cristinel Trapcea fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC GURZUN's protests and gave Cristinel Trapcea a yellow card for diving instead. In the 17th minute, Cristinel Trapcea hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 柯卫枫 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 18th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Cristinel Trapcea was shown his second yellow card after 20 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match.

The referee gave Marcu Cretan a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. In the 23rd minute, Marcu Cretan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 龚正朗 struck a weak shot in the 27th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 44th minute, 韩烽康 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 上海绿地申花足球俱乐部's supporters rose to their feet, but 韩烽康 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
