In a friendly match held at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh) on the evening of September 11, the Vietnamese team won 2-0 against Palestine. Cong Phuong and Tuan Hai were the ones who scored to help the "Golden Star Warriors" win.

This is the third consecutive victory for coach Philippe Troussier on the coaching bench of the Vietnamese team. Previously, in June, he helped the team win 1-0 against Hong Kong (China) and Syria.

Compared to the previous two matches, the Vietnamese team showed a more brilliant playing style. The Golden Star team had the initiative of their West Asian opponents. Clearly, the team showed progress as they gradually adapted to Coach Troussier's tactics.

According to statistics, the French coach became the first strategist to win his first 3 matches in charge of the Vietnamese team. More impressively, the "Golden Dragons" did not concede a goal in these 3 matches.

In the past, coaches who have been successful with Vietnamese football have not been able to do this. Coach Alfred Riedl failed in his debut match with the Vietnamese team against French club Guingamp at Hang Day Stadium.

Coach Henrique Calisto started his career with the Vietnamese national team with a 0-0 draw against the UAE at the 2002 ASIAD. Coach Park Hang Seo also debuted with a 0-0 draw against Afghanistan in the 2019 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Coach Toshiya Miura had his first 3 wins when leading the Vietnamese team, but 2 of those matches were unofficial practice matches.

Although there are still "bumps", coach Philippe Troussier has been successful in leading the Vietnamese team. We have good preparation before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the 2024 Asian Cup.

The match against Palestine is the only friendly match of the Vietnamese team in September. In October, coach Philippe Troussier's team will play 3 matches, against China (October 10), Uzbekistan (October 13) and South Korea (October 17). That will be a bigger challenge for the "Golden Star Warriors".

In addition, the homepage of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) praised the victory of the Vietnamese team over Palestine in the friendly match held at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).

"The Vietnam national team showed what they can do under coach Philippe Troussier when they won 2-0 against Palestine in an international friendly on September 11."
