Summary
Japan's first win of the tournament could not have come at a better time, it was the 1,000th match in FIFA World Cup history. The hype before the match was unreal because of the inclusion of coach Herve Renard, but that energy got shut down real quick. The Japanese team came out swinging and scored first within 4 minutes, courtesy of Daichi Kamada.
Quick Kamada Fact: Japan has literally never lost a match when Daichi Kamada scores.
Everyone thought Tunisia would retaliate after that first blow, but the Reds were doing tricks on it, just total radio silence from them. Instead, it was Tomiyasu and the squad absolutely running circles around everyone and creating mad chances.
While they were making another run, Ayase Ueda decided to try his luck and guess what the ball went through between the legs of defender into the back of net. They secured another goal right before halftime, leaving Tunisia completely shaken.
The second half started off a bit more chill, with Japan National Football Team dropping a less intense game. But for Tunisia? It was just a tough day in the office, still stuck chasing blue jerseys. Tunisia tried to pull back the momentum but in response, they got the third and fourth goals, which were scored by Junya Ito and man of the moment Ueda, respectively.
