Japan crushes Tunisia 4-0 and consolidates itself as a serious candidate in the group stage
With four unanswered goals, Japan sends a message of strength to the 2026 World Cup and places itself in a privileged position to advance.
Japan prevailed with authority against Tunisia, winning 4-0 in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. The match, played on June 23, showed an offensive Japan that scored in the 12th, 34th, 57th and 81st minutes, without the Tunisian defense being able to respond. Each goal was the work of different authors: Takumi Minamino opened the scoring, followed by a double by Daichi Kamada and the closing by Takefusa Kubo.
Tunisia barely managed to maintain possession and never threatened the Japanese goal. The technical superiority was no coincidence; The high pressing implemented by the coaching staff suffocated the Tunisian lines, preventing any construction from behind. Minamino not only scored, but functioned as the creative pivot that unbalanced the rival defensive block, while Kamada demonstrated a killer instinct to appear in free spaces.
