Spectators: 7701 (Terracing: 5777, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Antonín Čáslavský started the match with the kick off. Jiří Martinek hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. With a little luck, 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's 卓冰洋 got control of the ball when Jiří Martinek tried to sneak it across the goal line. 顾天潮 charged in rather forcefully in the 7th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed 顾天潮 the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻 getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. 顾天潮 hit a great ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by 卓荣战 during the 9th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Antonín Čáslavský's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but 卓冰洋 read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 12th minute of play. In the 13th minute the ball was on its way in behind 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's goalkeeper 卓冰洋, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The supporters of Moneyball booed when 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. 方政辰 didn't get a good kick on the ball. František Korčák showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from 沈洲延 in the 21st minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antonín Čáslavský in the 26th minute of play forced 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's goalkeeper 卓冰洋 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Stefan Turek's late challenge caught a 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Stefan Turek helped the player get up and apologised. Moneyball's Jiří Martinek got a good chance for a goal in the 45th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 沈洲延 to make the kick off. František Korčák took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 沈洲延, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 56th minute, Stefan Turek hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 沈洲延 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. František Korčák tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Moneyball made a substitution. Josef Matuška replaced Jiří Martinek. After 63 minutes of play, Moneyball's Antonín Čáslavský made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 卓冰洋 was left in no man's land by his defense there! 沈洲延 had several of the Moneyball's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 68 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-1 score and a disappointed František Korčák as he didn't even see the shot coming. After 73 minutes, Antonín Čáslavský made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's 卓冰洋 tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. With a little luck, Moneyball's František Korčák got control of the ball when 沈洲延 tried to sneak it across the goal line. Antonín Čáslavský blasted a shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without 卓冰洋 having to make a save. 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's 卓冰洋 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Antonín Čáslavský in the 80th minute of play. After some careless play in the 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻 defense, Stefan Turek kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of 卓冰洋. The 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that 卓冰洋 should have stopped the shot. After 91 played minutes Moneyball got a freekick which was hit by Bartoloměj Bukovjan. With an all-out effort, 『挑战者』BRAND NEW 风雨无阻's František Korčák threw himself towards the right post 92 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from 叶桑志, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. František Korčák made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from 叶桑志 in the 95th minute of play. Moneyball's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
