The V-League is extremely tough for Coach Harry Kewell.

On an emotional evening at Hàng Đẫy, Ninh Bình showed many that they are not only skilled but also lucky enough to put Hà Nội FC in a tough spot. The loss marked not only a disappointing debut for Coach Harry Kewell but also exposed the harsh reality of the V-League, where Hà Nội FC cannot easily relive its glory days.

Expected to bring a fresh perspective after a short period with the club, Coach Harry Kewell and the "naturalized newcomer" Đỗ Hoàng Hên (Hendrio Silva) had an unremarkable debut.
