Haley Bugeja made an eye-cathing return for US Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A Femminile as the Malta striker came off the bench to score in a 2-0 win over San Marino.
Bugeja, who last week was voted as Sportswoman of the Year, was making her first appearance for Sassuolo since the Coppa Italia game against Milan on February 13.
She was sent on the pitch on 76 minutes and managed to fire home her team’s second goal that all but sealed the points on Sunday.
For Bugeja this was her seventh goal for the Italian side in 12 league appearances and helped Sassuolo to remain third in the standings on 37 points.
