As V-League 2023 enters the final rounds, fans are worried that teams with enough points to stay in the league, no longer have any goals to strive for, out of gratitude or for some other reason, will "let go of the lifebuoy" to help teams in need of points. Therefore, the match between HAGL and Da Nang at Pleiku Stadium is being "scrutinized" because the mountain town team has stayed in the league, while the away team is very thirsty for points.

Coach Kiatisak and his players dispelled public doubts. With home field advantage, Coach Kiatisak fielded the strongest possible squad and his players played a great match to win 1-0. The only goal was scored by Dinh Thanh Binh from a beautiful pass with Minh Vuong.

After scoring the first goal, HAGL was under great pressure as Da Nang tried their best to attack. However, HAGL's defenders and goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh played solidly to preserve the score. The beautiful victory of the mountain town team helped them solidify their position at the top of Group B with 23 points.

Similar to HAGL, the Nha Trang coastal team, Khanh Hoa Club, which is almost certain to stay in the league, also played a brilliant match, defeating Ho Chi Minh City Club with a score of 3-0. Coach Vo Dinh Tan's team demonstrated a coherent and effective attacking style. The goals were scored by Yago (2 goals) and Vietnamese-American player Ryan Ha, coming from unexpected coordination situations that made Ho Chi Minh City Club's defense unable to fight back. Khanh Hoa's victory pushed Ho Chi Minh City Club back to the bottom of the rankings and will face many difficulties in the relegation race.

The defeat of Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang clubs has helped Binh Duong club benefit greatly. In the short term, they have an advantage when they don't understand why the organizers have favored the match between SLNA and Binh Duong to be played 1 hour later than the 2 matches between Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, even though the 3 opponents Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are racing to avoid relegation.

Playing as a guest against SLNA, the team that has never known victory in V-League this year unexpectedly defeated the home team SLNA 2-0 with goals from Tien Linh and Thanh Loc. It is worth mentioning that Binh Duong is very afraid of SLNA when playing at Vinh Stadium. In the last 9 confrontations at Vinh Stadium, SLNA is unbeaten with 6 wins and 3 draws. Therefore, the fact that SLNA lost when they had enough safe points against an opponent that has never known victory and is very thirsty for points has made many Nghe An fans question. 3 extremely valuable points against SLNA, helping coach Le Huynh Duc's team get 11 points, rising to 12th place on the rankings thanks to a better goal difference than Da Nang Club and Ho Chi Minh City Club.

In Group A, the championship race became more intense when Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) lost 0-2 to the visiting team Hai Phong. The team from the city of phoenix flowers played well from the beginning of the match with Trieu Viet Hung opening the score. At the end of the match, Tuan Anh sealed the score at 2-0 for Hai Phong. Unexpectedly defeated at home, CAHN Club ranked 3rd with 28 points, 1 point behind the 2 teams above them, Hanoi Club and Thanh Hoa Club.
