The Popp Star of FIFA Women’s World Cup: Germany mauls Morocco with brace from captain
The HinduTalismanic captain Alexandra Popp scored a brace as Germany launched its bid for a third Women’s World Cup title with a 6-0 demolition of debutant Morocco on Monday. Seven months after the Moroccan men’s fairytale run to the World Cup semifinals in Qatar, the Atlas Lionesses became the first Arab team to take the field at the women’s showpiece, and they will hope for better in their next match against South Korea. Morocco regrouped but there was no breaching the Germans’ high press, though captain Ghizlane Chebbak launched a long-range effort in the 24th minute, causing goalkeeper Merle Frohms to scurry across her line for the save. Lea Schueller completed the rout in the 90th minute, smashing in the sixth goal after team mate Lena Lattwein’s attempt pinged off the keeper.
