Harry Kewell's first impression on his debut day at Hanoi Club

Despite an unfortunate failure in his debut as head coach of Hanoi FC, coach Harry Kewell still left his mark with his rugged style and helped his foreign players "transform".

On the evening of October 18, former Australian football star Harry Kewell made his debut in the 2025/26 V.League in the match between Hanoi and Ninh Binh - a rookie who is a phenomenon of the tournament with a squad of players capable of competing for the championship - in round 7.

Mr. Harry Kewell made an initial impression with his rather rugged style, but later had to wear a bib to avoid confusion with the white shirt of Hanoi Club.

With his professional mark, coach Harry Kewell helped the foreign players of Hanoi Club play better, extinguishing the creativity of Hoang Duc - the "conductor" of Ninh Binh .

Striker Fernando had a good match, in contrast to his previous lackluster performances.

Most notably, midfielder Maranhao has almost completely "transformed", doing a good job of controlling the midfield, helping Hanoi Club control the match throughout.

The notable point is that coach Harry Kewell boldly left veteran Van Quyet on the bench until the end of the second half before putting him on the field, a suitable time to explode with the current physical strength of player number 10.

Hanoi FC dominated the game but could not score, causing them to receive a "counterattack". Ninh Binh had 2 goals from Daniel Da Silva (69') and Nguyen Quoc Viet (80').

In the 83rd minute, Hanoi FC had an equalizer from Le Xuan Tu but the remaining time was not enough to turn the game around. Coach Harry Kewell expressed his regret when the final whistle sounded.

With this defeat, Hanoi FC still cannot rise to the top 5 on the rankings and the Australian captain still has a lot of work to do.
