World Cup winner Cristian Zaccardo chalked up his first goal for Ħamrun Spartans last weekend when he converted the penalty which sealed the 5-1 victory for the Spartans over Lija Athletic.

His exceptional display and goal did not go unnoticed as Italian newspaper Tuttosport placed the former Palermo and Milan player on top of their weekly online show, 'Italians do it better'.

The show recaps the five best Italian representative among those pursuing their career abroad, with Zaccardo surpassing the likes of Marco Verrati of Paris St Germain and Sevilla's Franco Vazquez to earn top spot this week.
