It's not what you want to see as the Morocco backline, to have two German forwards with fresh legs coming on to the pitch.

Jule Brand's low cross is deflected and then tipped behind by the keeper.

It was own goalscorer Hanane Ait El Haj who was injured although she's going to come back on.

A Moroccan defender needs treatment so there's a break in play.

Germany are just popping the ball round with ease now. Or should I say Popping.

Morocco have a free-kick on the left wing but can't make anything of it.

'Heartbreak for Ait El Haj'

Again, it all starts with a brilliant delivery. Every delivery from Germany so far has been excellent.

Hanane Ait El Haj comes in at that far post just as it was creeping away from goal. Not what she wanted, you can see the heartbreak for her.

Still a long way for this Morocco side to go.

GOAL - Germany 4-0 Morocco

Oh no. Another crossing situation from Germany and another goal.

The corner comes in and Sveja Huth lifts a cross in. Morocco defender Elodie Nakkach flicks it on and then her team-mate Hanane Ait El Haj shins the ball into her own goal at the back post.

Brilliant play from Morocco, the flick from Rosella Ayane, the finish by Anissa Lahmari.

More positive play from Morocco, more opportunities and they have got to take the positives from them.

Stunning skill by Jule Brand on the left wing, stepover to beat one defender and then knocks the ball past another but she's blocked by a combination of keeper and a third defender.

DISALLOWED GOAL

Morocco think they have their first ever Women's World Cup goal but Anissa Lahmari is offside. A shame because her finish into the top corner is lovely.

Remember Germany have hit double figures twice in Women's World Cup openers...

Chance for Morocco but captain Ghizlane Chebbak's effort from the edge of the box is saved.

'Buhl kept the move alive'

The ball was whipped in from the wide area and it caused problems.

Germany thought the chance was gone but Klara Buhl was there to keep the move alive.

All three of Germany's goals have come from crosses. I would expect to see them trying to exploit those wide areas for the rest of the second half.

3-0 looks too far to come back for Morocco.

Klara Buhl strikes the post for Germany now but she's offside. She was in so much space though. Concerning times for Morocco.

Damage limitation for Morocco now. They might as well write this off.

That goal took 23 seconds to come.

GOAL - Germany 3-0 Morocco

Messy it is.

Germany hit the post from close range, Morocco don't clear and Klara Buhl blasts a shot into the bottom corner.

KICK-OFF

Can Morocco find a way back into it? Or is this going to get messy? The second half is under way.
