Hosts and defending champions Germany got its women's World Cup campaign off to a flying start as it beat Group A rivals Canada 2-1 at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on Monday morning.

Meanwhile, Marie-Laurie Delie struck the only goal for France to secure a 1-0 win against Nigeria.

Having won both the 2003 and 2007 editions, Germany is bidding to complete a hat-trick of titles on home soil and had few problems against the Canadians, who threatened the German goal on only rare occasions.

First-half goals by midfielders Kerstin Garefrekes and Celia Okoyino da Mbabi put the hosts in control before Canada captain Christine Sinclair, who broke her nose in the first half, slotted home a late free-kick for the guests.

"It was the first game so we were a bit nervous. There is room for improvements and we will improve," said goal-scorer Garefrekes, who also supplied the pass for the second goal.

The win puts the Germans top of Group A on goal difference above France.

"We got two goals in the first half and didn't play so well, then in the second half we were much better organised, but we couldn't score," said Germany coach Silvia Neid.

"Things got tight at the end and it could have been 2-2, so I am very happy we won the first game."

The hosts squandered a string of second-half chances, while Canada grew in confidence as the game wore on.

"The first game in a World Cup tournament is always tough and maybe were a bit intimidated at the start, but I think we did well," said Canada coach Carolina Morace, who paid tribute to her plucky captain Sinclair.

"Christine is a fantastic player and she took her chance well. The doctors have told me the nose was broken, but she insisted on playing on.

"She knows what she can do and it would have been hard to take her off with her experience."

Unstoppable Delie

France's 23-year-old forward Delie struck the winner against Nigeria to continue a torrid pace very few players - men or women - could match.

Delie has tallied 22 goals in just 21 caps, and if that was not good enough, her last six games have seen her tally 12 goals.

"I give it my best each time. The purpose of a striker is to score and voila," answered Delie, who scored three goals as the top goal scorer at the 2007 U19 FIFA's Women World Cup.

Delie's first cap for France's senior side came in a 7-0 routing of Croatia - in which she scored a goal on September 23, 2009. She also scored nine goals in France's qualifying for the 2011 World Cup.

"It just keeps going. She is really unbelievable. I cannot say it will be her World Cup. But it is her time," said French coach Bruno Bini.

Australia reached the knockout stage of the FIFA Under 17s World Cup in Mexico after a 1-1 draw with Denmark in their rescheduled Group F match.

An 89th minute goal to Luke Remington ensured a ten-man Joeys finished third in the group and progressed to a last-16 clash with Uzbekistan on Thursday (AEST).

Rochester Sorensen had earlier put the Danes ahead with a 35th minute strike in the match that was replayed after being called off after 25 minutes a day earlier due to heavy rain and lightning.

Australia had Yianni Perkatis shown a red card for a reckless tackle just a minute after conceding the goal.

Brazil topped Group F from Ivory Coast, while Denmark finished bottom of the group to be knocked out of the tournament.

Australia was reduced to nine men by red cards as it crashed out of the under-17 World Cup with a 4-0 loss to Uzbekistan in the round of 16 in Mexico.

Goals in the 11th, 40th, 66th and 89th minutes put an emphatic end to the Joeys' campaign after they progressed to the knockout clash by finishing third in Group F.

Despite controlling possession in the first half, Australia was unable to create any scoring chances, with Uzbekistan the first to capitalise through captain Abbosbek Makhstaliev early in the opening stanza.

Uzbekistan doubled its lead when striker Timur Khakimov found the back of the net after his shot glanced off a Joeys defender.

The chances of a Joeys' comeback took a hit early in the second half when star striker Dylan Tombides was shown a red card for a reckless, studs-up tackle.

In the 66th minute, any chance of a Joeys fight-back was snuffed out when captain Connor Chapman deflected an Uzbek cross past Australia goalkeeper Paul Izzo for an own goal.

Uzbekistan capped off the nightmare match for the Joeys a minute before full-time, with a goal to Davlatbek Yarbekov.

Rubbing salt in Australia's disappointment, Teeboy Kamara was sent off for a second yellow card in the 91st minute.

Joeys coach Jan Versleijen said it was a tough way to bow out of the under-17s tournament.

"The way we got the goals against, that made it more hard to comeback and we already had to fight one hour against Denmark with 10 men," he said.

"To compete in this kind of competition you have to be more better in your ball circulation, you have to be more better in your execution, you have to be more better in possession.

"I think although we are out of the game, it's been a big opportunity for the boys."

Uzbekistan now faces either Congo or Uruguay in the quarter-finals on Sunday (AEST).
