Daichi Kamada's Late Strike Secures Draw for Japan Against Netherlands

Daichi Kamada’s 88th‑minute goal earned Japan a 1‑1 draw against the Netherlands, preserving a point for both sides in a crucial group‑stage match on Thursday. The Japanese midfielder, playing his first tournament since his recent transfer, entered the game in the second half and struck the equaliser.

The Dutch side had taken the lead twice but defensive lapses allowed Japan to level. The result keeps Japan in contention for the group’s top spot.

Netherlands will need a win in their final group game to maintain the lead.
