Eight-time Women’s European Championship winners Germany laid down a marker by thrashing 10-man Denmark 4-0.
Lina Magull capitalised on a defensive mix-up to put Die Nationalelf ahead after 21 minutes at a sold-out Brentford Community Stadium.
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side had been rampant and went close when Felicitas Rauch hit the bar twice in the space of three minutes.
Germany’s dominance paid off when Lea Schuller headed in a second just before the hour mark.
Lena Lattwein then added a third before substitute Alexandra Popp — making her European Championship debut on her 115th appearance — got the fourth.
Denmark were reduced to 10 late on when substitute Kathrine Kuhl earned a petulant second yellow at the death.
The win puts Germany top of Group B on goal difference after Spain got their tournament underway with a 4-1 rout of Finland.
The nation ranked 28th in the world stunned favourites Spain when Linda Sallstrom struck after just 50 seconds at Stadium MK.
Adelina Engman almost doubled Finland’s lead with a low shot before Spain asserted themselves on the game.
After seeing a goal disallowed, captain Irene Paredes thumped home a header from a corner.
Aitana Bonmati gave La Roja the lead for the first time four minutes before the interval with another header.
Goals in the final 15 minutes from Lucia Garcia — yet another header — and Mariona Caldentey — a penalty — completed the rout.
