Taipei1 seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Slack defending gave Taipei1 a chance to take the lead with 18 minutes played, but B. Gashi's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Taipei1, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Taipei1 were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After a fine move down the middle D. Persson nearly gave the home side a goal after 20 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. It was obvious that team Taipei1 had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. Taipei2's A. Bremerhaven managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 28 minutes. 0 - 1. Some fine passing in the middle of the pitch, carving open the away defence, should have led to a goal for Taipei1, but 宋. 啟彪 (Qibiao)'s shot went over the bar. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Taipei1, with 64 percent of the ball.

Taipei1 put pressure on the visitors' central defence 58 minutes into the game, but D. Persson couldn't find an opening. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Taipei2 coach let E. McDonagh replace T. Arathimos after 60 minutes. No matter how hard he tried, 陳. 保成 (Baocheng) just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 64 minutes. C. Poppele missed a penalty after 73 minutes that would have put the teams level. 75 minutes in, Taipei2's 凌. 敬嘉 (Jingjia) received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Taipei1, as B. Gashi left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. T. Sunthornpan took his place on the field. The home crowd was not impressed when S. Vražda came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 77 minutes. Taipei2 were now up 0 - 2. The Taipei2 players could smell victory in the air. A. Bremerhaven wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Bonheur after 80 minutes. Taipei1 had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.

Most important Taipei1 player was C. Poppele. On the other hand, 宋. 啟彪 (Qibiao)'s play was disheartening. The most dominating Taipei2 player was without a doubt 莫. 項嘉 (Xiangjia) . E. McDonagh on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
