Ary Borges scored a hat-trick on her Women’s World Cup debut to help Brazil thrash debutants Panama 4-0 at the Hindmarsh stadium in Adelaide on Monday and get their campaign off to a winning start.
Brazil opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Debinha’s floated cross was turned in at the back post by Ary Borges, who looked close to tears as she celebrated. She then netted her second of the match 20 minutes, poking in a rebound after having a header saved by goalkeeper Yenith Bailey.
