Tunisia trails Japan 0-2 at the end of the first 45 minutes of their second group stage match of the World Cup.

Caught cold as early as the 4th minute by a goal from Daichi Kamada, the Carthage Eagles couldn't find the answer to level the score. Worse yet, they conceded a second goal, this time from Ayase Ueda in the 31st minute.

There's plenty of work ahead for the new head coach, Frenchman Hervé Renard, as he looks to avoid another humiliation after their heavy defeat to Sweden (1-5) in the opening match.

As a reminder, the Netherlands dominated Sweden with a 5-1 victory in the other group match on this second matchday.
