How do I trim 1/8' off cabinet facia?

I had a trash compactor and I'm replacing it with a wine cooler. The opening needs to be about 1/8" larger. I can sand it, but it will likely take me forever and not come out straight. I've tried hand planes, but that's takes skill that I never mastered.

Is there a tool that's best for cutting a straight line on a facia of a the cabinet (1/2" thick wood) that can shave about 1/8"? A router maybe? A power saw?
