If at the top of the table, Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club quickly broke away, creating a large gap compared to the rest, then the race for the second place in the table was a long and tense competition between Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club and PVF-CAND. In round 11, at Binh Phuoc Stadium - a match with VAR, the two teams shared points after a 2-2 draw. After the match, both teams made many changes on the coaching bench and the advantage in points gradually tilted towards Binh Phuoc Club.

Binh Phuoc Club said goodbye to coach Anh Duc and opened a new winning cycle with coach Huynh Quoc Anh. 6 wins (1 draw) have helped this team gradually solidify its second place in the rankings. PVF-CAND Club changed its head coach 1 round later (from round 13), after a very regrettable loss to Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club in round 12, the loss caused PVF-CAND to lose steam and gradually be left behind by its opponents. At the end of round 18, coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team were 7 points behind the second place team (33 points compared to 40 points).

Although creating a gap of 7 points, Binh Phuoc Club cannot be assured of the opponent's pursuit. PVF-CAND Club has fewer points but has the support of confidence for a comeback: 4 matches left (Binh Phuoc Club only has 3 matches left), there is a match to welcome the opponent at home (round 19) and Binh Phuoc Club also has a "nailed" match as an away match against Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club (round 21). If they win all 4 remaining matches, and Binh Phuoc Club cannot overcome the two "barriers" in rounds 19 and 21, the wind will change direction.

Therefore, the big match between PVF-CAND Club and Binh Phuoc on the afternoon of May 17 is extremely important for both teams. Coach Quoc Anh and his team will have a ticket to the play-off match if they win. On the contrary, Binh Phuoc Club will be under pressure and face many unpredictable variables if they lose. If the two teams draw, Cong Phuong and Binh Phuoc still have an advantage over their opponents in the race. PVF-CAND Club aims for victory because victory will help coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team open up a chance to "come back". The match is predicted to be very interesting, tense and VAR technology will help a lot with the refereeing work.

From the 2024-2025 season, VAR technology will be applied by the tournament organizers in the Bia Sao Vang First Division, especially in important matches that directly determine the competition between the teams. VAR technology appeared in round 9 (Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc - Phu Dong Ninh Binh), round 11 (Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc - PVF-CAND) and in the round 19 match between PVF-CAND and Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc this weekend (6 p.m. on May 17, PVF Stadium).
