3573 spectators arrived at Rovers Arena, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Nivaldo Marciano was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alberto Lazaro and Rogério Lopes. Rovers had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: 诚维 (Chengwei) - 恒轩 (Hengxuan), 尊辉 (Zunhui) , 友城 (Youcheng) - 福凡 (Fufan), 存龙 (Cunlong), 文远 (Wenyuan), 嘉 (Jia), Fidan - 邦文 (Bangwen), Fuster.

A 5-2-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Velotte. Starters: Hakim - Smycz, Ahumada, Chinaglia, Bouchereau, Buisson - Ünsel, Ruess - Lee, Pérez Albela, Kennedy.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Rovers. For their match strategy, Velotte had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Some great play up the middle by Rovers led to a chance for 董. 嘉 (Jia) to score after 3 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. G. Chinaglia stunned the crowd with a brilliant counterattack from the left, giving Velotte the goal to make it 0 - 1. After 11 minutes Velotte's M. Ünsel limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. 16 minutes into the game, Velotte seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. 17 minutes in, and Rovers were able to score the equalising goal to make it 1 - 1 when T. Fuster picked up a pass coming in from the right and chipped it past the away team's keeper. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to 王. 文远 (Wenyuan), but the Rovers player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 2 - 1! Rovers's 纪. 邦文 (Bangwen) got himself booked for a foul. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Rovers, who controlled the ball 80 percent of the time.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of Velotte was able to get his message across, and raised Velotte's organisation to solid. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Rovers's 聂. 友城 (Youcheng) increasing the lead to 3 - 1. 庞. 尊辉 (Zunhui) could have increased the lead after 54 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 58 minutes into the game, Velotte seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. Velotte's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 60 minutes gone, but G. Pérez Albela's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. W. Ruess of Velotte was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. 刘. 存龙 (Cunlong) unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. 聂. 友城 (Youcheng) behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 83 minutes as he gave the ball away to G. Pérez Albela. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Rovers had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

Rovers's best player was T. Fuster. 聂. 友城 (Youcheng) on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Velotte player was without a doubt J. Lee. However, C. Ahumada made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
