Two crucial Group F fixtures at the FIFA World Cup 2026 delivered drama on Thursday 25 June, as Japan faced Sweden and Tunisia took on Netherlands simultaneously.

Japan and Sweden met at Dallas Stadium in a tightly contested encounter that went to extra time, with neither side able to separate themselves across 90 minutes of regulation play.

Meanwhile, Tunisia showed considerable resilience in their match against Netherlands, holding their own against one of Europe's most formidable sides in what proved to be an intense Group F battle.
