GRENOBLE, FRANCE—Cristiane scored all three goals and Brazil spoiled Jamaica’s first Women’s World Cup match with a 3-0 victory on Sunday. The six-time women’s world player of the year was ruled out of the match because of a left thigh injury. The save prompted countryman Usain Bolt to tweet “Yes mi keeper.” Jamaica is the first Caribbean nation to play in the Women’s World Cup. It was Brazil’s first hat trick in a World Cup since 1999. Cristiane is the ninth player overall to score 10 career World Cup goals; Marta holds the record with 15.
