Tunisia's hopes of advancing in the 2026 World Cup were extinguished following a comprehensive 4-0 defeat against Japan. The team conceded an early goal and failed to register a single shot on target throughout the match, highlighting significant defensive and offensive struggles.
In contrast, Spain delivered a performance befitting their status, defeating Saudi Arabia 4-0. After an unexpected draw in their previous fixture, Spain's early goals from Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal set the tone for a much-needed victory.
Group H also saw Belgium held to a goalless draw by Iran. Despite facing a red card and playing with one man down, Belgium's defense held firm, while Iran couldn't capitalize on their late advantage, leaving their advancement hopes hanging by a thread.
Looking ahead, both Iran and Belgium are set to play their final group stage matches on Friday, with their qualification fates still undecided.
