Segreto pounced upon a poor trap inside the box from Adelaide City defender Oliver Western to bury a goal after just 54 seconds of play, eclipsing the record of 64 seconds held by Sutherland's Jyden Harb against Canberra Croatia scored on matchday two.
The 24-year-old, who also scored in Wests APIA's 3-1 win away to Adelaide City on the second weekend, added a second within 20 minutes in a very dominant display from the foundation club, who racked up 32 total shot attempts to go with their 19 in the reverse head-to-head.
He could have made it 2-0 within 15 minutes, having shrugged off a challenge from Daniel Bressan before a shot from the top of the box beat City goalkeeper Cosmo Groff only to ricochet in the wrong direction.
Groff would have regretted his positioning when Segreto added his second with a curling shot from outside the box that wrongfooted Groff late, snaking to his right and squeezing through his fingertips to make it 2-0.
The night only got worse for the City keeper when he ran well off his line to subdue a quick APIA counter-attack, only for his clearance to go straight to APIA's Taye Hedley who shot from close to the halfway line.
Adelaide's Bradley Corbo, perhaps expecting Groff to be positioned on the line behind him, watched a bobbling goal-bound shot go straight past him only to discover his keeper had not yet returned to the goalmouth.
The NPL NSW Premiers have established themselves as one of the tournament favourites with an unbeaten 13-point record after five rounds, leading the way in the tournament for goals scored (13) ahead of Queensland Lions (ten), who play away to Preston in Melbourne on Friday night.
Adelaide City had already been eliminated after last Sunday's loss away to Avondale and the debutants join Marconi as one of only two teams yet to win a game in this edition of the Championship.
2025 Championship runners-up Marconi get another chance to break their duck when they travel to Melbourne to take on Oakleigh Cannons, who only need one more point from their final two games to advance to the quarter-finals.
