Tunisia 0-4 Japan: Eagles of Carthage mercilessly thrown out of World Cup

Japan made light work of Tunisia 4-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 second Group F match on Sunday 21 June, 2026 at Estadio Monterrey in Guadalupe City in Mexico.

The result means the FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign of the Eagles of Carthage have ruthlessly come to an end.

This humiliation is hitting Tunisia following a 5-1 whitewash in the hands of Sweden in their World Cup opener last week. The loss to Sweden forced the sacking of manager Sabri Lamouchi, and Herve Renard was thrown in as replacement, but, the same woes continue for the North Africans.

Their second outcome was arguably worse than their first.

Renard was featuring in his third World Cup after guiding Morocco and Saudi Arabia, however, was unable to steer Tunisia through the Japanese. The French pro football coach led Saudi Arabia to discomfit Argentina in 2022.

Japan, who were much more organized and determined made sure to put four (4) fine goals past their African opponents, with the opener coming very early, in the 4th minute, through Daichi Kamada with an assist from Keito Nakamura.

And in the 31st minute, Ayase Ueda made it two for the Samurai Blue with an assist from Ajax defensive midfielder, Ko Itakura.

After the break, the Asian nation continued their goal spree with Ueda turning provider for Junya Ito, who netted the third in the 69th minute, beating Tunisia goalkeeper, Aymen Dahmen, in a one-on-one.

Maximum points were confirmed when Ueda netted his second and fourth for Japan in the 83rd minute, converting an assist from Kaishu Sano. The Tunisians were left completely shattered as their World Cup 2026 campaign has been a huge mess.

With this outcome, Japan are now level on points with Netherlands, who cruised past Sweden to three (3) points on Saturday, in Group F.

On Saturday, Netherlands defeated Sweden by a massive five (5) goals to one (1) to take the top spot of the Group.
