Brazil Beat Jamaica 3-0 in 2019 Women's World Cup as Cristiane Nets Hat-Trick

Brazil took care of business in their Women's World Cup opener on Sunday, beating Jamaica 3-0 thanks to Cristiane Rozeira's hat-trick.

The Selecao were in control from start to finish, dominating possession and opening the scoring after just 15 minutes. They also missed a penalty before half-time, but Cristiane added two more goals after the break.

It was Brazil's first win of 2019, putting their horrendous preparations for the World Cup in the rearview mirror.

The South American side face a tricky task of qualifying from Group C, where Italy beat Australia 2-1 earlier on Sunday.
