Germany's 10-0 win includes fastest hat trick in Women's World Cup

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.
