Japanese fans gathered in the iconic Shibuya neighborhood, in Tokyo, on Monday (15), to celebrate the 2-2 draw achieved in the last minutes against the Netherlands, in the team's debut at the World Cup. The fans filled the Shibuya intersection, singing and chanting despite the rain. Japan defended fiercely in the first half, frustrating the Dutch, and launched some attacks of their own before the match at the Dallas Stadium turned into a thrilling affair, with three goals in a 13-minute span, until the Blue Samurai leveled the match with two minutes remaining. Daichi Kamada scored a crucial second goal for the team when the ball deflected off the head of the Crystal Palace midfielder and past Bart Verbruggen after a powerful header from Koki Ogawa. Despite the absence of their influential midfielder, Wataru Endo, who was cut from the squad due to injury, the four-time Asian champions responded to the defeat with a determined performance. Japan's next game will be against Tunisia in Mexico on Saturday (June 20).
