Hello,
I think there is a phrase that expresses that only the first/faster always wins/gets everything while the last or the latest always lose.

Could you please help me find out these phrase?

Best Regards
Alex

I am not a teacher nor a native English speaker.

Maybe what you are looking for is one of the two following sentences:

1/ The winner takes it all, the looser has to fall.
2/ If you are first you are the first, if you are second you are nothing.

JMHO
