The Henan Jianye football team secured a vital win against their rivals, the Shandong Luneng Taishan, in their latest Chinese Super League (CSL) clash on Saturday night.

The game was played at the Henan Polytechnic Sports Center and was watched by a large crowd of supporters who were hoping for their team to come out on top.

The first half of the game was evenly contested, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert them into goals. However, it was the second half that saw the difference between the two sides.

In the 58th minute, Henan Jianye's striker, Lu Junpeng, scored a stunning goal from outside the box to give his team the lead. The goal proved to be the turning point of the game as Henan Jianye went on to dominate the remainder of the match and secure the three points.

Henan Jianye coach, Zhang Jiaxuan, praised his players after the game, saying that they had fought hard and worked together to secure the victory.

"The result is not important, what matters is how we play," he said. "I am proud of my players' effort today."

Despite the win, Henan Jianye still have some work to do if they want to make it to the playoffs. They will face tough opponents in their next few games, including Shandong Luneng Taishan again, and will need to perform well if they hope to secure a place in the top four.

Overall, though, this win was a significant boost for Henan Jianye, who now sit just one point behind their rivals in the league table. It shows that they can compete with the big boys in the CSL and could potentially cause upsets in the future.
