Tunisia crash out without any win, Curacao earn first World Cup point

Tunisia have crashed out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after falling to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Japan at the Monterey stadium in Mexico.

The Blue Samurai netted twice in each half to slice the Carthage Eagles into bits despite the appointment of acclaimed specialist Herve Renard, and packaged them back home as the first African nation to crash out of the tournament.

Daichi Kamada opened the floodgate of goal. Ayase Ueda scored one in each half, and Junya Ito was also on the scoresheet as Japan moved to second place in Group F.

The match was the 1,000th in FIFA World Cup history, was also the first time Japan would score four goals in a World Cup match, and Kamada scored the fastest Japan goal in the tournament when he finished off a swift counter attack on four minutes.

Ueda arrowed a shot into the far corner to double the lead, and netted a late header to complete the rout.

Tunisia crash out and are currently the worst team in the tournament, without a point and minus eight goals difference, and as assured of first place finish in Group F.

Elsewhere, Curacao secured a historic first World Cup point as they held Ecuador to a 0-0 draw, also claiming their first clean sheet. After losing 7-1 to Germany in their first ever match, the smallest nation in the tournament had their veteran goalkeeper Eloy Room who made a record-equalling 15 saves to thank for the historic point.
