A hat trick from Ary Borges powered Brazil to a 4–0 victory against Panama in a Group F opener on Monday at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Adelaide, Australia.
Borges scored in the 19th, 39th and 70th minutes and Bia Zaneratto tallied in the 48th to spoil Panama’s debut in the global tournament. Brazil, runner-up in 2007, has won all nine of its World Cup openers.
