Ueda's kick was unstoppable. |
On the opposite side, the African representatives were almost powerless in their attempts to get close to Japan's goal. Tunisia only managed one shot on goal, but it missed the target in the first 35 minutes.
Tunisia ended the first half in a situation where they were neither attacking nor defending effectively. They were completely helpless against Japan's scientific and disciplined style of play. Unless an upset occurs, Tunisia could become the third team to be eliminated from this year's World Cup.
In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Tunisia tried to push forward but were met with Japan's extremely tight defense. Not only that, they also conceded another goal.
In the 69th minute, following a brilliant one-two pass in the midfield, Ueda made a delicate touch to set up Ito Junya, who raced down to face the Tunisian goalkeeper. The 33-year-old calmly slotted the ball into the near corner, extending Japan's lead to 3-0.
