Mariona Caldentey made it 3-0 from the spot following a decision for handball in the box, Olivia Smith then fired home from the edge of the box.
Alessia Russo added a second-half brace for a final score of 6-0.
South America champions Corinthians from Brazil pulled off a surprise win over the USA’s Gotham FC, as Gabi Zignotti’s late strike went through the hands of goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.
