Women's World Cup: Germany's goal fest against Morocco as Italy beat Argentina

euronews.com

Captain Alexandra Popp-inspired Germany got off to a flyer at the Women's World Cup, thrashing Morocco 6-0 at the AAMI park.

It took the two-time champions just 11 minutes to take the lead, as Popp converted Kathrin Hendrich's cross to catch Morocco's defence napping.

Popp's second goal just before the 40-minute mark saw the tournament favourites go into halftime with a comfortable lead, setting up an opportunity to further trouble the scorekeepers in the second half.

Two own goals and a goal each from Klara Buhl and Lea Schuller saw the Germans cruise past their North African opponents, with Colombia's challenge next on the deck.
