Samurai show: Japan outclass Tunisia and dream big at the World Cup | OneFootball

Japan showed it is ready for big things. In the second matchday of the group stage, the Japanese side steamrolled Tunisia with an emphatic 4-0 win, making clear the huge footballing gap between the two teams on the pitch.

The Asians’ approach suffocated a disorganized Tunisia from the outset. A brilliant backheel goal by Kamada and a thunderous long-range strike from Ueda set the tone for a first half of total Japanese dominance. Although the second half was played at a lower intensity, individual quality once again unlocked the match: Junya Ito made it 3-0 with a burst of speed and, minutes later, was involved in the move that allowed Ueda to score his second goal of the night with a header. Moriyasu’s team is building plenty of reasons to dream, while Tunisia still cannot find its way after Renard’s failed debut.
