Japan and Spain both won 4-0, while Curaçao earned its first World Cup point

Between 05:00 June 21 and 05:00 June 22 Beijing time, four World Cup matches finished: Ecuador 0-0 Curaçao, Tunisia 0-4 Japan, Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia, and Belgium 0-0 Iran. Japan routed Tunisia in the 1,000th match in World Cup history, with Ayase Ueda scoring twice, while Spain recovered rhythm after its opening draw. Curaçao may be the story to remember: the Caribbean nation of fewer than 200,000 people held Ecuador 0-0 as 37-year-old goalkeeper Eloy Room made 15 saves and secured its first World Cup point.
