The third goal that ended the contest
By the 69th minute Tunisia were still chasing a way back into the game when Junya Ito removed it. Working the right side as he has for Japan for years, Ito rolled a finish past goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen to make it 3-0. It was the goal that turned a comfortable lead into a settled result, and it came from one of the most familiar sources in this Japan side — the wide runner who keeps arriving in the right places long into a tournament cycle.
