Commentary

The full-time whistle sounds at Estadio Monterrey as Japan thrash Tunisia 4-0 and dump the North African side out of the World Cup! Japan made a fast start inside four minutes as Nakamura’s left-wing centre was flicked in by Kamada at the near post. Dahmen brilliantly denied Tomiyasu’s close-range effort, clawing his shot off the line, but could not do anything about Ueda’s exquisite 18-yard strike, which nestled in the bottom-left corner. Ito made it 3-0 in the 69th minute, rolling a finish past Dahmen before Sano’s right-wing delivery was looped into the bottom-right corner by an unmarked Ueda, seven minutes from time. The result sees Japan move above Sweden into second place in Group F, whereas Tunisia remain fourth. Tunisia created two shots, reflected by an xG of 0.05, whereas Japan registered 11 shots with five on target, highlighted by an xG of 2.07. That concludes our live commentary of this entertaining 2026 World Cup Group F contest. We hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and take care!
