Germany routs Ivory Coast, 10-0, in Women's World Cup group game

Celia Sasic scored the fastest hat trick in Women's World Cup history and Anja Mittag also scored three goals to spark top-ranked Germany to a 10-0 victory over Ivory Coast on Sunday in a Group B match — the second-most lopsided win in event history.

Germany used a crisp, efficient passing game to dominate in the offensive zone.

Leonie Maier found a wide-open Sasic at the top of the six-meter box for her first goal midway through the third minute. Lena Goessling threaded a cross into the six-meter box that Sasic headed into an open goal in the 14th minute.
