Tunisia crash out of World Cup after devastating defeat to Japan

RIYADH: The 1,000th match in FIFA World Cup history — at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Monterrey — brought Tunisia and Japan together in a meeting that carried major consequences for both teams. Japan needed a convincing victory to keep pace with the Netherlands, who had thrashed Sweden 5-1 earlier in the day. For Tunisia, defeat would bring their hopes of reaching the Round of 32 to an end. Unfortunately for the Eagles of Carthage, Japan cruised to a 4-0 victory behind a starring display from striker Ayase Ueda, who scored twice and created another goal.
