FIFA Women's World Cup: Ary Borges Scores Hat-trick As Brazil Put On The Style, Germany Also Win Big
Ary Borges was the star of the show at the Women's World Cup on Monday, hitting a hat-trick for an impressive Brazil, while Germany also won big to begin their campaign. Italy were also victors but needed an 87th-minute header from substitute Cristiana Girelli to squeeze past Argentina 1-0.

Far tougher challenges lie ahead -- they face France next -- but their 4-0 thumping of debutants Panama was the perfect start for Swedish coach Pia Sundhage's side.

It looked like Italy would have to settle for a draw in their Group G opener at Eden Park after Arianna Caruso and Valentina Giacinti both had goals disallowed in the first half. But Girelli, the Juventus veteran who was Italy's top scorer in qualifying, came on for 16-year-old Giulia Dragoni near the end and needed just four minutes to make her mark with a superb header.
