Netherlands vs. Japan : 19 - 6- 10

The Netherlands was far from convincing in its 2-0 win over Denmark, while Japan laboured to a 1-0 win over Cameroon in its opening match.

Nevertheless, the Dutch and Japanese sit atop Group E with three points apiece, which means the winner of this game could clinch a spot in the second round, provided the Cameroon-Denmark match later in the day ends in a stalemate.
