The match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and Ninh Binh was postponed due to heavy rain and a wet field.

At around 7:35 p.m. on October 20, heavy rain poured down on Thong Nhat Stadium. The referee allowed the players to play for a few minutes in the rain. Afterwards, due to the heavy rain, Thong Nhat Stadium was flooded, forcing the match to be postponed due to poor technical quality. When the weather and field conditions are more favorable, the players will return to play.

Before that, neither Ho Chi Minh City Club nor the visiting Ninh Binh team had scored a goal. The two teams started the game relatively tight and the quality of the players on both sides was also balanced, so no goals were scored.

Goalkeeper Van Lam had some difficulty controlling the ball when the field was flooded.

The referee was forced to postpone the match.

At 20:15, when the rain eased, the match supervisor checked the pitch again. The match will resume at 20:30.

Coach Kim Sang-sik will be present to watch the match. He will observe some national players such as Dinh Thanh Binh and Dang Van Lam. The day before, the Korean strategist went to Binh Phuoc to watch the match between Binh Phuoc Club and Ho Chi Minh City Youth Team, also in the qualifying round of the 2024-2025 National Cup.

Another star who appeared in the stands was midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc. He was not registered to play in the National Cup, so he was only a spectator in Ninh Binh FC's first match of the new season. He will debut for his new team in the first round of the 2024-2025 First Division, against Khanh Hoa FC at 19/8 Nha Trang Stadium.
