Malta recorded its first ever win in a Women’s World Cup qualifier after beating Azerbaijan 2-1 at the ASK Arena, in Baku.
This was an historic result for the Malta women’s national team who are now on four points after their home draw to Bosnia-Herzegovina, last month.
The Maltese team were the better side on the field but had to wait until the second half to forge ahead through Dorianne Theuma. Emma Xuereb, who was a second-half substitute, sealed the victory with a late goal.
