Meanwhile, defending champions Hanoi, Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh suffered their first defeats this season. The biggest surprise in the first half of the 2023 V-League was that the two formidable teams SHB Da Nang and Becamex Binh Duong had to share the bottom two positions in the rankings with the same record of 7 winless matches, including 3 draws.
Since round 7, the organizing committee has invited foreign referees to officiate important matches. This is also the round with the highest number of goals since the beginning of the tournament, with a total of 24 goals in 7 matches, achieving an average efficiency of 3.43 goals/match. Notably, half of the total 24 goals scored in this round were scored by foreign strikers.

With a hat-trick against Hanoi FC, Brazilian striker Rafaelson Bezerra Fernandes, who is currently playing for TopenLand Binh Dinh, has surpassed Nguyen Van Quyet and Rimario Allando Gordon to lead the "Top scorer" list after 7 rounds. Rafaelson joined the V-League in the 2020 season, playing for Nam Dinh FC and SHB Da Nang and quickly became a "nemesis" for the opponent's defense.
Up to now, Rafaelson has scored 24 goals in 58 matches. If he continues to maintain his current top scoring performance, Rafaelson will greatly contribute to helping TopenLand Binh Dinh realize its ambition of winning the V-League title as well as usurping the "Top Scorer" title at the end of the 2023 season.
At the end of round 7, from April 18, V-League 2023 will take a break for more than 1 month to make way for the U22 Vietnam team to participate in the 32nd SEA Games.
Also during this time, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) and the VFF Referee Board will continue to implement the second training course for VAR (video assistant referee) referees to be able to soon apply VAR in the V-League.
