Can I use two digit pins at the same time in 4 digit SSD simultaneously?

I'm trying to create a scoreboard much like in basketball and I am using SH5461AS 4 digit seven segment display. I am wondering if I can use digits D1 and D2 to display the score of the home team and digits D3 and D4 to display the score of the away team simultaneously.

I found one tutorial here on project hub link: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/aboda243/how-to-use-4-digit-7-segment-without-library-b8e014

but the problem is in this method I cannot display both the scores, whenever I increment one score the other one disappear.

In principle you have to keep the two scores separate and combine these for display.
This:

printDisplay("2021",1000)

Could be "20" for team A and "21" for team B (displayed for 1000ms).
If you still have problems then post your code.
