Heidelberg United are gearing up to become the second team from outside of the A-Leagues to compete in the Hahn Australia Cup Final when they take on Newcastle Jets on Saturday, October 4.
They have defied all expectations to get to this stage, racking up a remarkable three cupsets – all without conceding a single goal.
There’s never been a better time to catch up on their journey to the final.
Round of 32: Heidelberg United 2 – 0 Weston Bears
Heidelberg kicked off their Hahn Australia Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Northern NSW’s Weston Bears.
A first-half tap-in to Asahi Yokokawa gave them the advantage, before Max Bisetto’s goal - a result of the Bergers’ high press - sealed the result.
Round of 16: Heidelberg United 3 – 0 Western Sydney Wanderers
A-League opposition was no problem for Heidelberg, who defeated the Western Sydney Wanderers 3-0 in the Round of 16.
Bul Jauch capitalised on a Wanderers error to force an own goal, before converting a penalty later in the first half.
Anthony Lesiotis made sure there would be no late drama when he scored from a breakaway in second-half stoppage time.
Quarter-final: Heidelberg United 4 – 0 Wellington Phoenix
If Heidelberg were happy after their victory over the Wanderers, they were on cloud nine after the quarter-final, when they defeated the Wellington Phoenix 4-0.
It was a complete performance from the Bergers who dominated the Phoenix from start to finish.
Max Bisetto’s pressure forced an own goal in the first half before he scored one of his own after the break. Asahi Yokokawa and Chok Dau’s goals added sugar on top of the cake for Heidelberg as they advanced to their first ever semi-final.
Semi-final: Heidelberg United 2 – 0 Auckland FC
Fans had one question for Heidelberg ahead of the Hahn Australia Cup semi-final – they couldn’t do it again, could they?
They could, with two late goals for Bul Jauch and Asahi Yokokawa sending them through to a historic Hahn Australia Cup final.
