Southorn saw most attack opportunities on the wings. Southorn had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. Southorn took the lead after 7 minutes making the score 0 - 1. G. Mazzoldi placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. With 19 minutes of the game having been played, 羅. 輝山 (Huishan) received a blow to the hip in a collision and was unable to continue. Bells, with no available replacements, now faced the prospect of finishing the game with a reduced number of players. 20 minutes into the game, 古. 宇涌 (Yuyong) came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. You could feel the tension in the crowd after the referee awarded the home side a penalty kick and a chance to equalise. Sadly, 鐘. 庭峰 (Tingfeng)'s shot sailed wide of the goal. A penalty was awarded after 33 minutes, and B. van de Kamp made the most of his chance to put Southorn up by another goal. 0 - 2 for the visitors. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Southorn lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented.

After 46 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for G. Mazzoldi who increased Southorn's lead to 0 - 4. C. Askgaard was called on to replace Southorn's D. Abts after 54 minutes following a nasty collision. Bells had a brilliant opportunity to reply as 古. 宇涌 (Yuyong) received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only P. Carapío's reflexes saved him. R. Burroughs of Southorn took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 64 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 5. Possession in this half belonged to Southorn, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.
