Dominant Japan

Former Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Daichi Kamada (pictured), after scoring a late equaliser against the Netherlands, sent the Samurai Blue on their way to a 4-0 victory over Tunisia, who bow out of the World Cup. Bayern Munich's Hiroki Ito, Eintracht Frankfurt's Ritsu Dōan and Mainz's Kaishu Sano all started for Hajime Moriyasu's side with Keisuke Gotō, Yuito Suzuki (both Freiburg) and Yukinari Sugawara (Werder Bremen) all coming off the bench, and Wolfsburg's Kento Shiogai an unused substitute.
