The game started, Jiujiang team wore a white away jersey and took the lead in the rain. The coach decisively returned to the 4231 formation in the previous games. The No. 50 "single arrow" Fang Liang started, and Li Liwei, Ke Xianli and Zhang Yutao behind him formed an attack group with "three arrows at the same time". The Jingdezhen team also set up a single-arrow formation with the intention of fighting with Jiujiang team in the midfield. As soon as the game started, Jiujiang team used high-intensity pressing to limit the Jingdezhen team's mid- and backcourt organization and successfully mastered the rhythm of the game. In the 4th and a half minute, No. 57 Ke Xianli intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and caused a free kick. Fang Liang's direct shot was confiscated by the goalkeeper; in the 13th minute, No. 35 Li Qichao's long shot flew out against the post. In the 25th minute, Jiujiang team ushered in a dream moment.

After scoring the goal, Jiujiang team still maintained its offensive posture and repeatedly won corner kick set-piece opportunities. 40 minutes later, Jingdezhen team, who was unwilling to fall behind, pushed forward the formation and started counterattacking. In the 41st minute, Jingdezhen team No. 5 Li Yu cut inside from the left side of the penalty area and shot was confiscated by goalkeeper Lai Xiaoyu; in the 43rd minute, Jingdezhen team got another set piece in the frontcourt, and Li Yiming, No. 4, shot directly to the goal and hit the ball high. In the first half, the Jiujiang team's single arrow Fang Liang not only repeatedly posed threats in the frontcourt, but also frequently retreated to participate in the midfield organization, taking charge of all Jiujiang team's frontcourt set pieces and corner kicks, and his performance was extremely eye-catching.

The change of sides and the fight again, Jiujiang team replaced No. 6 Nie Haotian, who performed outstandingly in the previous round, and continued to strengthen the frontcourt offense. In the 48th minute, Li Qichao directly attacked the goal with a free kick from the right. The ball drew a wonderful arc and headed straight to the dead corner of the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was not fast enough and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Subsequently, Jiujiang team created dangerous situations through tactical corner kicks and middle penetration many times, and Fang Liang, Yang Chen, Nie Haotian and others missed the opportunity to score.

As the competition progressed, the rain became more and more intense. After the 70th minute, Jingdezhen team adjusted its tactics, reduced mid- and backcourt transmission, and changed to long passes in the backcourt, and continuously attacked the Jiujiang team's defense line.

In the 74th minute, No. 17 of Jingdezhen team Zhang Jiajun received a long pass from the backcourt and broke into the penalty area with one single strike. Fortunately, Xiaoyu took a decisive attack in the goalkeeper and resolved the danger. In the stoppage time, the storm on the court suddenly changed. In the 95th minute, Jingdezhen's corner kick caused chaos, and Jiujiang's handball appeared in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.
