The highlight match of round 16 of the 2023-2024 V-League is the clash between the second-placed Hanoi Police and the first-placed Nam Dinh (7:15 p.m. on May 4, Hang Day Stadium). VAR will be used in this match to ensure fairness for both teams that are fiercely competing for the championship.
Referee Tran Ngoc Nho consults VAR at V-League. He also officiated a match with VAR in round 16.
The Hanoi Police Club has 28 points, temporarily losing to its opponent. The match on May 4 is a golden opportunity for coach Kiatisuk and his team to shorten the gap as the race is heading towards the finish line. On the other hand, the team from the South is also aiming for victory to increase the gap, creating a safe distance on the fierce race track.
Another match that promises to be exciting is Binh Dinh Club (4th place on the temporary rankings) against Thanh Hoa Club (5th place). Both teams are ambitious to enter the top 3 teams in the table, when they meet at 6pm on May 4, both sides will bring the audience a dramatic match. Also because of the importance of this match, VPF has decided to apply VAR at Thanh Hoa Stadium.

The martial arts team led by coach Bui Doan Quang Huy is becoming a phenomenon this season and it will not be surprising if their efforts bring them a worthy position when the V-League ends. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa Club with the personality-rich coach Popov. has always played with passion, dedication and has never given up the ambition to advance to higher rankings.
The remaining match of round 16 with the support of VAR is predicted to be a very tense match between The Cong Viettel Club and LPB HAGL Club (7:15 p.m., May 5, Hang Day Stadium). Both teams are still in the process of trying to escape the bottom group, with unpredictable risks.
Viettel The Cong Club is having a fairly successful streak of matches and has temporarily risen to 10th place, with 17 points. LPB HAGL Club is ranked 12th with 15 points, still progressing, although at a rather slow pace. This number of points is still close to other teams in the bottom group, so the risk of being pulled down is always present.
Therefore, whichever team wins in round 16 can create a turning point in "cutting the tail" of the teams below. Both teams are eager to win, but the goal of 3 points is not easy. The Viettel The Cong team just had a valuable victory in the quarter-finals of the National Cup on May 1, so Hoang Duc and his teammates are very motivated when returning to the V-League arena. Coach Vu Tien Thanh and his team will certainly face many challenges at Hang Day Stadium. Having expressed his opinion about VAR (because VAR has not appeared in the Southern regions), Mr. Thanh and his students will be exposed to this technology in the very important match on May 4.
