Heidelberg United edge out Marconi Stallions in tight Australian Championship opener

·

Heidelberg United began their 2025 Australian Championship campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Marconi Stallions on Sunday, October 12.

After a goalless opening half, Anthony Theodoropoulos broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, finishing confidently into the left corner after Anthony Lesiotis created space down the right wing.

Marconi pressed for an equaliser, with Jordan Swibel missing a key headed chance late in the game, but the Stallions couldn’t find a breakthrough.

The result gave Heidelberg United, also known as the Bergers, a strong start to their Championship campaign, claiming all three points in their opening match.
