Brilliant Heidelberg United stuns the Wanderers to reach Australia Cup quarter-finals

·

On Wednesday night at Olympic Park Village, Alexandros (Heidelberg United) put on a show against the Western Sydney Wanderers, defying all odds with a dominant 3-0 win to book their place in the Australia Cup quarter-finals.

An own goal by Alex Bonetig gifted the opening goal in the 13th minute.

From there, Heidelberg had no trouble dismantling the Wanderers, scoring two more through a well-taken penalty by Bul Juach in the 31st minute and a late strike by Anthony Lesiotis in the 90th to seal the result.

Heidelberg will now face Wellington Phoenix in the next round, with Football Australia expected to confirm the date in the coming days.
