Great Britain started their Olympic campaign successfully as the women's football side beat Chile 2-0 comfortably in an empty stadium in Sapporo, Japan.
Manchester City striker Ellen White scored either side of the break to put GB in the driving seat in Group E.
City team-mate Lauren Hemp, who was impressive throughout, kept the ball in play at the back post for White to poke in the opener after 18 minutes.
Defender Lucy Bronze then flicked it past the defender and picked out White, whose acrobatic overhead kick made it 2-0 later in the second half.
In other results, Brazil defeated China 5-0, Australia beat New Zealand 2-1, the Netherlands thrashed Zambia 10-0, Sweden beat USA 3-0 and Japan drew with Canada 1 all.
The Men's football competition begins today with Egypt taking on Spain at 7.30pm, New Zealand will play the Republic of Korea at 8pm and reigning champions Brazil will face Germany at 11.30pm.
The opening ceremony will be held at 11pm tomorrow.
