On the afternoon of September 11, Vietnamese football officially returned after nearly 2 months of hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic with the 2020 National Cup Quarterfinal match between Ba Ria - Vung Tau and Ho Chi Minh City Club. Notably, spectators were allowed into the stadium to cheer for the two teams.
Having the advantage of 3 previous practice matches with 1 win and 2 draws, the home team BR-VT continued to show confidence in welcoming the V.League runner-up. Right in the 2nd minute, Ngoc Hung headed the ball into the net of Bui Tien Dung from Van Giang's free kick, putting the home team ahead.
Conceding an early goal affected the mentality of the HCM City players, leading to many careless actions. In the 11th minute, Van Giang continued to kick the ball awkwardly, creating an opportunity for Van Duc to head the ball into the visitors' net for the second time, creating a huge surprise.
