Franklin Sasere was ecstatic to mark his "dream" Hamrun Spartans debut with a goal in Sunday’s Maltese Premier League triumph over rivals Santa Lucia.
The Nigerian forward, who joined the Maltese elite division side on loan from Swiss Super League outfit Lugano - with the ambition of getting regular first team football - needed just six minutes to announce his presence after replacing Brazil’s Marcelina Emerson in the 39th minute.
Profiting from a cross, the former Sunshine Stars’ man unleashed an unstoppable left-footed shot past goalkeeper Andreas Vella to hand the Spartans an unassailable four-goal lead before the half time break.
