Today at the World Cup: Ary Borges hat-trick has Brazil up and running
Ary Borges stole the headlines on day five of the Women’s World Cup as her hat-trick helped Brazil thrash tournament debutants Panama 4-0 in Adelaide. There were also plenty of goals in Melbourne where Germany brushed aside Morocco 6-0, with captain Alexandra Popp bagging a brace, while Italy left it late to beat Argentina 1-0. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at all of Monday’s action. Borges powers Brazil Brazil’s opening match of the tournament was all about Borges, who scored the tournament’s first hat-trick and set up Bia Zaneratto for the other in a one-sided match in Group F. The winger had a first-half brace, both headers from Debinha’s crosses, before her neat backheel laid on the third of the match for Zaneratto just three minutes into the second half. Borges then headed in Brazil’s fourth 20 minutes from time to put her side in a strong position in the group after France’s draw with Jamaica. Germany lay down a marker Germany, the world’s number two side, immediately set out their stall in Melbourne with a dominant performance against Morocco. Captain Popp, who missed the Euro 2022 final against England with an injury picked up in the warm-up, found the net with two clinical headers inside the opening 45 minutes. Klara Buhl then added a third early in the second half before Morocco crumbled, both Hanane Ait el Haj and Yasmin Mrabet putting through their own net. Substitute Lea Schuller then added a sixth late on after Germany had struck the frame of the goal twice and had another ruled out for offside. Italy snatch late victory Cristiana Girelli came off the bench to make the difference for Italy as her 87th-minute goal secured a 1-0 win over Argentina. Italy had been grown frustrated against a stubborn display from their opponents, with goals from Arianna Caruso and Valentina Giacinti ruled out for offside. Girelli came on to replace 16-year-old midfielder Giulio Dragoni, who justified her selection with a composed display in midfield. Post of the Day Quote of the day Cristiana is a leader, a captain of this group. She is always there and we know what she can give. We are very happy. We know how important it is to start such a tournament well Italy manager Milena Bertolini on match-winner Girelli Up next Group H: Colombia v South Korea (3am Tuesday, Allianz Stadium, Sydney)Group A: New Zealand v Philippines (630am Tuesday, Wellington Regional Stadium)Group A: Switzerland v Norway (9am Tuesday, FMG Stadium Waikato)all times BST Read More Rachel Daly frustrated to start England’s opening World Cup game on the bench On This Day in 2014: Steven Gerrard retires from England duty England blind footballer targeting Paris 2024 alongside educational ambitions Sarina Wiegman ‘grateful’ for Women’s World Cup growth 35 years after experiment A closer look at the key numbers ahead of the Women’s World Cup Henry Searle stays on course in bid to emulate Stanley Matthews at Wimbledon
