The World Cup continued with two matches that brought surprises and clarity to the group stage. In Group E, debutants Curacao achieved a remarkable result, holding Ecuador to a goalless draw (0:0). This point is historic as Curacao is participating in the tournament for the first time, and a draw against a strong opponent is a significant achievement.

In Group F, Japan's national team delivered a commanding performance, crushing Tunisia 4:0. With this victory, Japan not only secured three points but also dashed Tunisia's hopes of reaching the knockout stage. Tunisia's loss means they can no longer advance in the tournament.
