Malta international forward Haley Bugeja made it 10 goals on her Serie A Femminile debut as she grabbed a brace in Sassuolo’s win over Hellas Verona by 4-0.
Bugeja, 16, started the game as a playmaker behind strikers Valeria Pirone and Veronica Battelani.
The former Mġarr United player broke the deadlock after 29 minutes to pave the way for Sassuolo’s victory.
In the second-half, she scored a 50m coast-to-coast goal to wrap up another positive performance with the Neroverdi.
Fellow Maltese player Kailey Willis, who forms part of the youth team, was called up for the game as the Primavera league will resume next weekend.
