Germany put an imperfect build up to this summer's World Cup behind them by overawing debutants Morocco in their opening Group H game, running out 6-0 winners.
The two-time world champions lost two of their three warm-up games to nations significantly lower in the FIFA rankings, but allayed any fears of such form carrying into the tournament with a compelling performance to dispatch the North Africans.
Morocco, ranked 72nd in the world, are the first Arab team to compete at a World Cup finals, but the gulf in experience was exposed early by Germany captain Alexandra Popp - playing at her fourth edition of the tournament.
Kathrin Hendrich scampered down the right flank in the 11th minute, dinking a cross towards the head of Popp, who powered her effort beyond stranded goalkeeper Khadija Er-Rmichi.

Seven months after the Moroccan men's fairytale run to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar, the Atlas Lionesses set about making history at the women's showpiece event, but were met by particularly fierce opposition in their opening encounter.
Machine-like Germany, grouped among the tournament favourites, showed little mercy to the World Cup first-timers.
It was a mis-match from the off, with talismanic Popp demonstrating her usual ruthless efficiency by scoring a headed brace inside 39 minutes as Germany assumed Group H's top spot ahead of Colombia and South Korea's meeting in Sydney on Tuesday.

Germany manager Martina Voss-Tecklenburg: "We stayed true to ourselves. It was a great to have a 6-0 score... I look forward to the next match, but today we want to be happy with what we did today. It was truly a team performance.
"Is it a statement from us? People will have to make up their own minds about this. For us it was important to play the way we did, to create opportunities and for them to be successful. We know how to evaluate this (win). We won't change, we'll stay true to ourselves. We showed that we are very capable of handling situations."
Morocco manager Reynald Pedros: "We came across a team which was superior to our own -- David and Goliath. They had something that we didn't.
"I think it goes without saying we were probably going to lose but I think we didn't need to lose by six goals."
