The Netherlands and Japan played to a draw in a closely contested match in Group F of the 2026 World Cup. Although Crysencio Summerville appeared to have scored the winning goal for Ronald Koeman’s team, Daichi Kamada equalized in the final minutes of the match. Netherlands arrived as the clear favorite to defeat Japan in the 2026 World Cup Group F match. While they dominated possession, they were not effective at all, remaining far from scoring a third goal. Nonetheless, Crysencio Summerville’s goal seemed to give Ronald Koeman’s team the victory, but Daichi Kamada scored in the final minutes to level 2-2 the match. Unlike Koeman’s team, Japan was not looking to dominate the ball. Instead, they remained quite effective with the ball. By relying on a crowded defense, they managed to close down chances for the Netherlands, who could not do much damage. Then, they looked to press and recover the ball to break on the counterattack. With this, they constantly reached the opposition penalty area, but their lack of efficiency came back to haunt them. With Frenkie de Jong and Ryan Gravenberch, Netherlands imposed a great rhythm on the game, controlling the ball constantly. However, they failed to open up spaces in the Japanese defense, looking totally inefficient. Therefore, Crysencio Summerville’s goal gave them life back, as it was an individual piece of brilliance. After Ronald Koeman’s changes, they dropped off, giving protagonism to Japan, who ended up equalizing the 2026 World Cup group F game. Japan never stopped chasing the equalizer, pressing the Netherlands in the closing minutes. Relying on counterattacks and crosses into the box, they managed to wear down their opponent, opening the door to level the match. Despite the quality of the opposing defenders, a header from Koki Ogawa that was deflected by Daichi Kamada ended up giving his team the equalizer they had pursued throughout the match.
Daichi Kamada scored on a header off Koki Ogawa's corner kick in the 88th minute, sending the Samurai Blue fans into a frenzy and giving Japan a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their World Cup opener on Sunday.
The 2026 World Cup will feature several key changes to substitution protocols, highlighted by a strict new 10-second rule enforced on players exiting the pitch. The 2026 World Cup is introducing several rule changes that will affect various aspects of the game. While the number of substitutions per team remains the same as in 2022, a new 10-second substitution rule has been approved that could have a significant impact on how games are managed. Each national team will continue to have five substitutions available per match, a rule that became standard during the COVID-19 period and was subsequently made permanent across soccer’s major competitions given its widespread adoption. Those five substitutions must still be used within three tactical windows during the 90 minutes, a restriction designed to prevent excessive time-wasting. Substitutions made at halftime do not count against a window, giving coaches up to four opportunities throughout a standard match to make their five changes. Additional substitutions are available under specific circumstances. Any player who suffers a head injury and cannot continue will be replaced without that change counting against the original five. An additional substitution and window are also granted if a match goes to extra time, meaning knockout stage games could see up to six substitutions per team, or seven in the event of a concussion during the additional period. Hossein Hosseini of IR Iran is brought in for Alireza Beiranvand against England due to a concussion. The new 10-second substitution rule One of the most significant rule changes approved for the 2026 World Cup governs how quickly substitutions must be completed. The player coming off now has a maximum of 10 seconds to exit the field from the nearest touchline once the substitution is signaled. If that 10-second window is exceeded, the team is penalized. The departing player must still leave the pitch, but the incoming substitute will not be permitted to enter. Instead, the replacement must wait a minimum of 60 seconds on the sideline before being allowed onto the field, leaving the offending team down to ten men for at least that duration. Exceptions exist for situations where a player is injured and requires medical assessment or needs to be stretchered off, as well as any security-related concerns about where a player can safely exit. The latter scenario is unlikely to be a factor at the World Cup. Critically, the 60-second minimum waiting period only begins once the substitution violation is identified, and the replacement cannot enter until play stops. This means that even after the minute has elapsed, the substitute must wait for the next stoppage, potentially leaving their team a man short for significantly longer than 60 seconds. Ojo a esto que pasó hoy en Japón-Islandia.Hlynsson se demoró más de 10 segundos en salir de la cancha y el árbitro aplicó la NUEVA REGLA: Islandia jugó UN MINUTO con uno menos. Y justo ahí fue el gol de Japón. En el Mundial dará que hablar. ⚠️🏆 pic.twitter.com/U90nnF3mxU— Ataque Futbolero (@AtaqueFutbolero) May 31, 2026 The rule was already applied in practice during the international friendly between Japan and Iceland on May 31. When Kristian Hlynsson failed to leave the pitch within the 10-second window during a substitution in the 84th minute, Isak Thorvaldsson was held on the sideline and Iceland were reduced to ten men. Play did not stop for two full minutes, during which Japan capitalized and Koki Ogawa scored the winning goal.
Japan defined their World Cup list with Takefusa Kubo, while Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino are injured. While teams were not yet required to officially name their 26-man World Cup squads, Japan chose to remove any suspense and announce its list early. The squad led by Takefusa Kubo does not include Kaoru Mitoma or Takumi Minamino. Japan’s progress over the past few years has been clear. That is reflected in the clubs these players represent, with only three of them, including two goalkeepers, playing in the domestic league. Bad news for Hajime Moriyasu came with the absence of Mitoma, mainly because the midfielder picked up an injury while playing for Brighton last weekend. The manager said: “The medical team assessed that it would be difficult for him to return to fitness during the tournament.” The list Goalkeepers: Zion Suzuki (Parma), Keisuke Osako (Sanfrecce Hiroshima), Tomoki Hayakawa (Kashima) Defenders: Yuto Nagamoto (FC Tokyo), Shogo Taniguchi (Sint-Truidense), Ko Itakura (Ajax), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Ajax), Ayumu Seko (Le Havre), Yukinari Sugawara (Werder Bremen), Hiroki Ito (Bayern Munich), Junnosuke Suzuki (Copenhagen), Tsuyoshi Watanabe (Feyenoord) Mitoma isn’t on the list (Warren Little/Getty Images) Midfielders: Kaishu Sano (Mainz), Wataru Endo (Liverpool), Ao Tanaka (Leeds), Daichi Kamada (Crystal Palace), Junya Ito (Genk) Forwards: Kaito Nakamura (Stade Reims), Daizen Maeda (Celtic), Koki Ogawa (NEC), Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), Iori Suzuki (Freiburg), Kento Shiogai (Wolfsburg), Keisuke Goto (Sint-Truidense), Ritsu Doan (Eintracht Frankfurt), Kaoru Ueda (Feyenoord) The group Japan was placed in Group F for the World Cup, where it will face three strong opponents: the Netherlands on June 14, Tunisia on June 21 and Sweden on June 26.
