Harry Kewell has made an impressive mark with Yokohama F. Marinos, leading them to the AFC Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in the club’s history.
This achievement comes shortly after Kewell took the managerial helm at Marinos, following his departure from Celtic where he served as a first-team coach under Ange Postecoglou.
The decisive moment for Yokohama F. Marinos came in the second leg of their round of sixteen match against Bangkok United. Following a 2-2 draw in Thailand, the tie was finely balanced heading into the return leg in Japan. Despite the match heading into extra time with the scoreline still goalless, Yokohama F. Marinos showcased their resilience and determination. In a dramatic climax to the match, they scored in the 122nd minute, securing their progression to the quarterfinals.
