Lots of goals in the Group F Tunisia vs Japan Match, just all for the one side. Japan confirmed genuine dark horse status with a proper thrashing of Tunisia 4-0, and for the Tunisians it is two losses and a combined total of 1-9, which is slightly longer odds than theirs to leave the World Cup at the Group Stage.

BEST OF STATS
Tunisia are yet to beat an Asian team at the World Cup, with a D1 L3 record.
Tunisia were the fourth team this World Cup not to register a Shot on Target, the other being Algeria (Game 1), Scotland, Qatar (G2).
It was the first time Japan had scored four goals in a World Cup. Their previous best was three just the once.
REST OF STATS
Interesting state of play ahead of the Group F Tunisia vs Japan clash, with both sides coming into the game without a win in their opening game. Tunisia’s opening 5-1 loss will just about rule them out of knockout stage contention right now, given this game and their next vs Netherlands are harder on paper. But African teams have been springing plenty of surprises so far. Japan looked good enough against the Netherlands to give confidence they’ll get the job done here with relative ease. And who doesn’t want Japan to do well. Only miserable people.
