Ary Borges and Alexandra Popp were the leading predators on Monday as Brazil and Germany launched their World Cup campaigns with convincing wins over Panama and Morocco respectively.
Borges scored a hat trick in Brazil's 4-0 breeze at the Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide. The 23-year-old headed in her first after 19 minutes and tapped in her second after the Panama goalkeeper Yenith Bailey had saved her header.
