Heidelberg's Fortress: Home Ground Dominance

On this week’s SBS Championship Corner, hosts Nick Pagano and Adrian Arciuli welcome Heidelberg goalkeeper Yaren Sözer and SBS Italian's Paolo Gallo to unpack all the Australian Championship quarter final action! Heidelberg have gone unbeaten at home for 51 matches, and we break down what's behind that streak -coaching style, match‑day routines, and the energy drawn from a passionate Greek-Australian community. They dissect the Derby d’Italia madness, highlighting what was potentially ‘The Best Tackle Ever’. They preview the upcoming semi-finals, noting Moreton City’s fairytale run and ask Sozer how Heidelberg plan to deal with South Melbourne’s threat from set‑pieces and long‑throw threats. All of that and so much more in this episode of the SBS Championship Corner!
