Popp netted a first half brace to inspire her country to a dominant and comprehensive start to the tournament in New Zealand and Australia.

Germany added three more goals in the second half before taking off their star Popp, who was replaced by Laura Freigang in the 83rd minute of the game.

Lea Schuller came off the bench to add a sixth goal in added time in a game that could have seen the Germans score more goals.
