Mondial 2026 (Groupe F) : Le Japon arrache le nul face aux Pays-Bas
The Netherlands and Japan drew 2-2 on Sunday in the first match of Group F at the 2026 World Cup. It was a lively and eventful encounter.
After a balanced first half, the Dutch opened the scoring immediately after the break thanks to their captain Virgil van Dijk. The central defender used his positional awareness to give the Oranje the lead in the 51st minute.
But the Japanese response was swift. Six minutes later, Shunsuke Nakamura leveled the score (57th minute), rewarding the efforts of the Blue Samurai who never stopped believing in their chances.
The Netherlands regained the lead in the 64th minute thanks to Crysencio Summerville. Capitalizing on a well-constructed attacking move, the Dutch striker restored his team's advantage and seemed to be heading towards a valuable victory in the Oranje's opening match.
But they hadn't reckoned with Japan's determination. Just when the Dutch thought they had secured the three points, Daichi Kamada popped up in the 88th minute to equalize and give his team a well-deserved point.
With this draw (2-2), both teams start their world campaign with one point each in Group F.
