Gozitan-born footballer Maria Farrugia made her mark in the international football scene on Wednesday after scoring the game-winning penalty for Sunderland Ladies against Liverpool.

“If Farrugia finds the net, Sunderland win this one,” the commentator exclaimed prior to a wave of cheers following Farrugia’s goal at the final moments of the women’s League Cup match. Unfortunately, Sunderland journey at the League Cup came to an end in the group phase due to other results within the tournament.

The match was won 4-2 and serves as sweet retribution for Sunderland, who lost their last match against Liverpool in the Women’s Championship.
