France beat Panama 6-3 to reach last 16
Kadidiatou Diani scored a hat-trick as France marched into the last 16 of the Women's World Cup Wednesday in a 6-3 thriller against Panama, who stunned them with a goal in the opening minute. It was a polished recovery after Marta Cox's wonder strike on 67 seconds left the world number five team reeling, swerving a freekick into the corner from 30 yards for her country's first-ever World Cup goal.
