Samurai show: Japan masterclass v Tunisia, dreaming big at World Cup | OneFootball

Japan showed it is ready for big things. In the second round 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 start. A superb backheel goal by Kamada and a thunderous long-range strike from Ueda put the first half firmly under Japan’s total control. Although the second half was played at a lower intensity, individual quality once again unlocked the game: Junya Ito made it 3-0 with a burst of pace and, minutes later, took part in the move that allowed Ueda to score his second 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.
