Daichi Kamada’s last-gasp deflection rescued a dramatic point for Japan as the Blue Samurai fought back twice to hold the Netherlands to a thrilling 2-2 draw in their FIFA World Cup 2026™ Group F opener.
Under the roof at Dallas Stadium, a quiet first half gave way to a breathless, four-goal second-half explosion. Ronald Koeman’s Oranje looked destined to take control of the group after international newcomer Crysencio Summerville put them ahead in the 64th minute. However, channelling the same resilience that saw them upset Germany and Spain at Qatar 2022, Japan refused to be cowed, rewarding their travelling fans with an 89th-minute equaliser.
