Ary Borges scored a hat-trick on her Women’s World Cup debut to help Brazil thrash debuts 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 Borges, who netted her second of the match 20 minutes later as she poked in a rebound after having a header saved by goalkeeper Yenith Bailey.

The Brazilians turned on the style in the second half as Borges set up Bia Zaneratto with a backheel flick for the third before the 23-year-old headed home to become the first Brazilian player to score a hat-trick on their World Cup debut.

As a result, eighth-ranked Brazil now leads Group F after Jamaica held France to a 0-0 tie on Sunday.
