Japan, Tunisia and Daichi Kamada
21 June 2026
Japan beat Tunisia 4-0 in Monterrey to move into a strong Group F position and eliminate Tunisia from the World Cup. Daichi Kamada scored early from Keito Nakamura’s low cross as Hajime Moriyasu’s side controlled the match without Takefusa Kubo.
The quick opener forced Tunisia to chase the game and left Japan comfortable in possession and transitions. With the win, Japan moved one point ahead of Sweden, meaning a draw in their final group game would be enough to progress.
